    The authors of the Constitution wanted to be sure that

    no person or group would seize power and control

    the American government. To insure that this would

    not happen, our United States government, under

    the Constitution; was divided into three parts: the

    executive, the legislative, and the judicial. Each of

    these three branches has a check on the powers of

    the others. These checks provide a system of balance

    in our government, and that is why we call the system

    checks and balances.

    You may also hear this system referred to as a

    separation of powers. Although not directly mentioned

    in the. Constitution, the first three articles mark the

    responsibilities of the executive, legislative; and

    judicial branches. It gives some power to each branch

    of government instead of giving all the power to one

    branch.

    These are the most important checks and balances:

    1. Executive branch has the power to check the

    legislative branch by vetoing laws that Congress

    wants to pass

    2. Legislative branch may check the executive branch

    by passing laws over the veto by two-thirds vote in

    each house.
