Legislature, executive and judiciary are the 3 systems or arms of power. The legislature (parliament) has the power to make or change laws. The judiciary (court) has the power to make judgements on if a person has broken a law or not. The executive eg. police, have the power to enforce laws. Neither of these arms of power can misuse their powers. eg. the legislature cannot decide if a person is guilty or not, neither can the judiciary enforce laws.
They check the laws made by legislature branch.
The executive branch can veto proposed bills made by the legislative branch. This power division is laid out in Article 1, section 7 of the Constitution. This procedure allows the executive branch to have some power over the legislature and thus "check" the legislative branch's power.
