checks and balances
the government have to get laws passed by all the different branches of government before it gets passed
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. This provides for the necessity of cooperation among the three branches and allows the government to enact favorable legislation.
Separation of Power vests the powers of the Government into multiple entities that are more or less autonomous of one another. In the United States, the Constitution separates the power of the Federal Government into three branches. The Legislature, the Executive, and the Judiciary. The system of checks and balances is how the branches make sure that one branch does not gain too much power over the other. Each branch has "checks" over the other two, concurrently the other two "check" it.
The purpose is to prevent one of the branches of the government from dominating the others. There are 3 branches of government: executive power (president), legislative power (congress) and judicial power (Supreme Court).
The three branches of government each have a distinct role that relies on the other branches of government to be effective -- as a result no single branch can marginalize the others. Each branch also has unique powers that allow it to check the other branches (for instance, the judicial branch is made up of judges and justices that are nominated by the President and then confirmed or rejected by the Senate). Take a look at the linked chart. It has a lot more examples.
The Constitution established three branches of government for a check and balance system.

Yes, the power to check other government branches is a non-legislative power
A system in which each branch of government can check the other two is a system operating with a separation of power.
The United States government has three branches because the Founding Fathers believed the branches would check and balance each other.
so if two of the other government branches thought the other was too powerful they could check the issue then balance the branches
The separation of powers is the practice we use in the US national government to divide the national government's powers between the three branches (executive, legislative, judicial) so that the national government cannot abuse its powers. Each branch has certain powers and is able to "check" the other branches' powers to keep the three branches equal or "balanced". This system is known as the system of checks and balances and it is used to guarantee the separation of powers.
Another name for the separation of powers that was written into the U.S. Constitution is the system of checks and balances. Dividing power into three government branches (Executive, Legislative, and Judicial) creates a system where each has the ability to keep a "check" on the power of the other two so that one person or group doesn't gain full control of the government.
the way that branches check each other is called the checks and ballances system.
