authority, how might the other branches

CHECK &
BALANCE
refers to the system designed to prevent any one
branch of government from becoming too powerful
by providing each branch with the authority to limit
or oversee the powers of the others. This principle
ensures that the three branches of government—
Executive, Legislative, and Judicial—are separate
but interdependent. It is an essential aspect of
democratic governance and helps maintain a
balance of power, preventing tyranny or abuse of
CHECK &
BALANCE
Executive Checks on the Legislative
The President can veto laws passed by
Congress. This power ensures that the
Executive can prevent legislation that may
be harmful or undesirable from becoming
law. However, Congress can override this
veto with a two-thirds majority vote.
CHECK &
BALANCE
Legislative Checks on the Executive
Congress can impeach the President and other
high-ranking officials if they commit serious
offenses. Additionally, the Senate confirms or
rejects key appointments made by the President
(e.g., cabinet members and Supreme Court
justices). Congress also holds the "power of the
purse" by controlling government spending,
CHECK &
BALANCE
Judicaial Branch Checks on the
Legislative
the Judicial branch can declare laws or executive
actions unconstitutional through judicial review.
This ensures that neither Congress nor the
President can overstep their authority by enacting
or enforcing laws that violate the Constitution.
