checks and balances
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.
The system of checks and balances is an important part of the Constitution. With checks and balances, each of the three branches of government can limit the powers of the others. This way, no one branch becomes too powerful. Each branch "checks" the power of the other branches to make sure that the power is balanced between them.
They used the ideas of mahor political philosophers. For this they used Baron de Montesqueiu. He developed the idea of separation of powers. This meant that govenment would be divided into three separate branches all that would check and balance each other.
The branches of government check up on each other.
If the executive branch was allowed to make laws it would upset the system of checks and balances each branch has on one another. The executive branch has a check on made laws in that it can veto them and send them back to the legislative branch. The legislative branch has a check on the veto in that it can vote the law through with a 2/3 majority
Checks and Balance.

It is not a branch, but the theory that if power is divided between 3 branches of government that each will check the other and no one branch will get too powerful.
I would say that it is one with a system of checks and balances, so that each branch can check (or review and potentially limit) the power of another branch, and the branches of government thereby balance each other. For example, under the U. S. Constitution, the Judicial branch has the power and authority to review a law passed by the Legislative branch as to whether the law comports with the U. S. Constitution and, if not, declare it to be unconstitutional. The Legislative branch, in turn, has the power to then pass another law to replace the one earlier ruled unconstitutional. Also, the Legislative branch has to approve (or not) the appointment of a federal judge and to impeach and remove a federal judge once appointed who engages in unlawful behavior. Another example is that the Executive branch is empowered to implement and enforce laws, but the Legislative branch has to pass a budget to give the Executive branch the money to operate, thereby acting as a check on the Executive branch.
It is successful because it has limited the powers of each branch so that no one branch has more power than the other.
Checks and balances. Power of one branch is balanced by powers of another.

the method in which each branch has the power to restrain powers of the other branches, it is used to prevent abuse of one branch
what are the checks and balances that take place so one branch doesn't get too powerful
Power is shared between the 3 branches of government:Legislative,Judicial, and Executive. The power of one branch can be challenged by another. For example the legislative branch is in charge of making laws. The executive branch can veto that law, or the judicial branch can claim it unconstitutional. Each branch "checks" on one another to ensure its power is used properly, if not they intervene with one another to "balance" it.
