Checks and balances is a fundamental principle of governance that ensures no single branch of government becomes too powerful. In the United States, the system divides government into three branches: the legislative (Congress), executive (President), and judicial (Supreme Court). Each branch has specific powers and responsibilities, along with the ability to limit the actions of the others, such as the President vetoing legislation or the courts reviewing laws for constitutionality. This framework promotes accountability and protects democratic principles by encouraging cooperation and preventing the abuse of power.
