false it does that so the branches are the same and balanced and equal.
No, this is not true. "Checks and balances" is referring to three separate but equal powers that keep each other from becoming too powerful or from oversteping their boundries. With only one branch of government there would be no one to control it. Three branches keep each other in check and keep the power balanced.
yes
A Actually, it is true that the framers made the system of checks and balane as to make sure no branch of govenment succeded the other branches. Then with no one to look after one central ruler, it will turn out to be just like the British Empire that the U.S. tried to get away from.
Judicial review is part of the United States' government's system of checks and balances. It is a "check" the Judicial branch (lead by the US Supreme Court) can exercise over both the Legislative (Congress) and Executive (President) branches. For more information, see Related Questions, below.
One of the key principles in American Government are checks and balances. Checks and balances is a process that each branch of the government can check the actions of the others. The three branches of government are the Judicial, Legislative, and Executive branches. Basically what this process entails, is when Congress enacts a law, the president can veto the law that Congress passes. The Supreme Court has the power to decide the laws Congress and the president pass to be constitutional or unconstitutional. Finally, the president is the one to appoint the justices of the Supreme Court, with consent of the Senate. That is a basic overview of the Checks and Balances that take place in American Government. Now the question is, does the system always hold true?

Senior religious leaders declare that an act of Congress is incompatible with the core principles of the nation.
