The fundamental truth of separation of powers and checks and balances is that they prevent the government from gaining too much power which could potentially lead to a tyranny. Checks and balances help keep separation of powers by giving each branch specific powers that can check the other branch's actions. These checks and balances allow the branches to have limited power while maintaining the clear separation of powers into three branches and have ultimately created a limited/balanced form of government.
Balance is described as an even distribution of weight enabling someone or something to remain upright and steady. The system of separation of powers distributes the government's power into three even branches while checks and balances allows these branches to stay even in power and prevent the branches from gaining too much power, overall enabling the government to stay upright and perform its duties to the people properly. For example, in document #3 it shows the powers of each branch and the branch in which it checks. This clear distinction of power in the document represents and shows a clear image of the separation of powers in our government while also …show more content…
The separation of power also creates a checks and balances system which prevents one of the branches of government from having more power over another. Ultimately resulting in a equal or limited government. Without these systems limiting the government's powers and keeping it balanced the government would be controlled by a single group of people (tyranny). Our government today is a clear democracy run by our three branches united so I’d say our systems have ultimately create a balanced or limited form of government in the
