checks and balances
This is an example of the system of checks and balances. The Executive Branch checks the Judicial Branch by appointing justices. The Judicial Branch can then check the Executive Branch by ruling Executive decisions as unconstitutional. This keeps one branch of government from becoming too powerful.

Conflict of interest
This question refers to the United States pioneered system of separate and distinct political units (legislative, executive, judicial) having the power to counteract one another to avoid the abuse and usurping of power. One example is judicial review which can be levied upon both the executive Td legislative. The executive has the power of veto over the legislative, and powers to selective enforce law through discretion.
The Judicial Review elevated the Supreme Court to a higher status, balancing the powers of the other branches. Judicial review is an example of check and balances in a modern governmental system.
That refers to the power in a government being held not by a single person or group, but by more than one - different branches of government. In modern democracies, there are often three branches of government - legislative, executive, and judicial.
None of the three branches of government have more power than the other two. They do, however, have different responsibilities. The judicial branch has the power to declare a law unconstitutional, for example.
Each branch of government(Legislative, Executive, and Judicial) checks the other branch. For example, The Legislative Branch checks the Executive, the Executive branch checks the Judicial, and the Judicial checks the Legislative. When each branch checks the other, they make sure that that branch is not too powerful or too weak. -Trent S. Fresno
