Starting with Magna Carta, to the Glorious Revolution, the British system did develop a system of Checks and Balances that, later on, the American founding fathers built on to create the American government. The British government today is made up of executive branch(Prime Minister), legislative(House of Commons and House of Lords) and judicial(the Courts). Where in the US the head of government and head of state are both found in the office of the President, in Britain the two functions are split between the Monarch(head of state) and the Prime Minister(head of government). While it is not usually exercised, the Monarch does have a limited power of veto. In addition to the obvious methods of checks and balances, the British government has one more check in place that we in the US do not...if the Prime Minister's government(or administration) begins to fail, the Parliament can bring in a 'no confidence' vote, and a new election is called for to elect a new Prime Minister as well as a new government, whether or not the next election was scheduled.
