Some examples include the President's ability to veto a bill, Congress's ability to pass a bill that has already been vetoed with a 2/3 majority, and the supreme court's ability to deem laws unconstitutional.

In the US Consitution, a system of checks and balances helps the three branches of US government limit the powers of each other. For example:

Congress is able to pass a bill with a simple majority vote. Once this is done, the bill is sent to the President, who can either sign it, which would put it into law, or veto it, which would reject Congress' bill. If the president chooses to veto, the bill must then pass through both houses of Congress, this time with a 2/3 majority vote. If Congress does this, the President's veto is overridden. This way, a president can limit the power of Congress to pass laws, but Congress can limit the president's power to reject bills.

Another example is that a President can nominate anyone for certain government positions, like Cabinet Secretaries, or vacant Supreme Court seats. However, these nominations must be approved by the Senate with a 2/3 majority vote. This way, the Senate limits the power of the President and his nominations.

List and describe the principles in the constitution give an example of each?

The Six Principles of the Constitution/Government found in the Constitution of the United States are---Popular Sovereignty; Checks and Balances; Federalism; Limited Power of the Government; Separation of Branches; Judicial Review.Popular Sovereignty means the ultimate power rests with the people. Checks and Balances means that no one branch of the government can overpower the other branches of government. Each has a check on the power of the other branches. Federalism is the dividing and sharing of power between state and national governments. Limited power means that the government is restricted by the laws and the Constitution and it has to operate within the framework of the laws and Constitution. Separation of Branches divides the government into the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial Branch, each with its own powers and duties. Judicial Review gives the Judicial Branch the right to declare laws unconstitutional.

Why do you have checks and balances in government?

The reason for checks and balances is to keep one branch of the government from becoming absolute. That is, they control everything and no other branch has authority to overrule them.If there we no checks and balances the legislature could pass a law stripping all U.S. citizens of their civil rights and the Judiciary, which has the authority to void any law by finding it unconstitutional, would not be able to do so.Lastly, it maintains that another branch of government can "check" the others. Here is a list of the powers that each branch can do to check the other.Executive (President, Vice President, and his cabinet).Can veto's laws that are sent for signing by Congress (Legislative)Legislative (Senate, House of Representatives)Can override the Presidents (Executive) veto through a majority of 2/3'rd vote by each portion of congress.JudicialCan override the legislative branch by declaring the law unconstitutional and removing it entirely from the books.
