How does the executive branch checks the power of the other branches?

In order for the Legislative Branch to pass a bill into law, the President (Executive Branch) must sign it. The President can check the Legislative Branch by vetoing it: not signing a bill into law. The President nominates candidates for Supreme Court Justices (Judicial Branch). In doing this, he checks the Judicial Branch by nominating candidates that would balance the power in the Supreme Court (or tip it into his favor).

A system that keeps one branch of government from using it's authority wrongly?

The system of checks and balances is a system that allows each branch of government to watch over each other. This makes sure that one branch of government does not gain more power or use its authority wrongly. For example, the legislative branch makes the laws and the executive branch can veto those laws. This makes it harder for the legislative branch to pass a law. The judicial branch also has the power to declare a law as unconstitutional, and make sure the law never gets passed. The legislative branch also has the power to veto a president of judge that is not doing their job properly. The legislative branch approves the choice of the executive branch for who they appoint as judges.


What power does the constitution give to each branch of the federal government?

The system of checks and balances is a part of our Constitution. It guarantees that no part of the government becomes too powerful. For example, the legislative branch is in charge of making laws. The executive branch can veto the law, thus making it harder for the legislative branch to pass the law. The judicial branch may also say that the law is unconstitutional and thus make sure it is not a law. The legislative branch can also remove a president or judge that is not doing his/her job properly. The executive branch appoints judges and the legislative branch approves the choice of the executive branch. Again, the branches check and balance each other so that no one branch has too much power.

I cannot give you a detailed answer but a brief description is that each branch of government can check each other. The executive branch can check congress and congress can check the judicial and the judicial can check the executive, correct me if I am wrong Some examples of checks and balances are: LEGISLATIVE TO EXECUTIVE~ must approve all cabinet members, ambassadors, etc. LEGISLATIVE TO JUDICIAL~ must approve all justices The senate also has the power to impeach the president and justices of the supreme court JUDICIAL TO EXECUTIVE~ declare acts unconstitutional JUDICIAL TO LEGISLATIVE~ can declare laws unconstitutional Justices are also appointed for life, but usually good behaviour as well EXECUTIVE TO LEGISLATIVE~ can veto bills and can also propose laws EXECUTIVE TO JUDICIAL~ can appoint justices and other judges The president is also head of the military. but yes checks and balances are basically that each branch of government can override the other so that one is not sole power.

Which branch executes or carries out the laws?

Well, honey, that would be the executive branch. They're the ones in charge of putting those laws into action, like a boss giving orders to their employees. So, if the legislative branch makes the laws, think of the executive branch as the ones doing all the heavy lifting to make sure those laws actually get enforced.
