Checks and Balances System

The Checks and Balances system is a way to prevent any one branch of government—legislative, executive, or judicial—from becoming too powerful. Each branch has specific powers to oversee and limit the others, ensuring a balance. For example, the president can veto laws passed by Congress, but Congress can override that veto. Courts can review laws to ensure they follow the Constitution. This system promotes accountability and fairness by encouraging cooperation while preventing abuses of power, helping maintain a stable and just government.
