The President can veto bills passed by Congress, thus checking the Legislative Branch. The President checks the judicial branch by appointing Supreme Court justices.
The Constitution established three branches of government for a check and balance system.
The government has three branches because we need CHECK and BALANCE and to avoid abusive powers. The constitution says that those branches are equal, so it means that the judicial can impeach the president as well as the legislative and vice versa, no one is on top and no one is at the bottom.
The United States government has three branches because the Founding Fathers believed the branches would check and balance each other.
It helps the check and balance system to be more efficient.
I think it's check and balance
the government have to get laws passed by all the different branches of government before it gets passed
Elections! We can choose our representatives. They can pass laws to check (to some extent) the judicial and executive branches. We also elected the president, who can to some extent, check the judicial and legislative branches. The three branches of government are theoretically equal in power; balance of power can help prevent abuse of power.
Check and balances is the answer to the question in that the checks of the three branches of government keeps the country at large in balance. No one dictates the law and no one is above the law. The one interesting check and balance is that the US. armed forces are always under the control of a non military civilian, ie. the President.
The three branches were all set up in order that none got to much power, and that they all balance out.
judicial, legislative, executive
They can do things that limits the two other branches' powers. For example, if a President vetoes a bill, Congress can override it if they gets a 2/3 vote.
so if two of the other government branches thought the other was too powerful they could check the issue then balance the branches
