How does the US system of government set up one branch from having to much power?
The U.S. government has three branches: the legislative, judicial, and executive branches. The legislative is comprised of the House of Representatives and the Senate. The judicial is comprised fo the U.S. Supreme Court and other federal judicial courts. The executive branch is comprised of the President and his Cabinet. But how does the government ensure that each one is equal and one doesn't get too powerful? The U.S. government set up a system of checks and balances, in which all three branches are constantly checking on each other to make sure no one gets too powerful. One example of checks and balances in action: The House of Representatives passes a bill and wants it to be a law. If the President reads it and doesn't like it, he can veto it. However, if 2/3 of the House and Senate overrule the President's decision, the bill becomes a law. If it is found later that the law is injust, the U.S. Supreme Court can rule the law as "unconstitutional," meaning that it is against the constition. Thus in this example, each of the three branches limits each other from seizing too much power.
