judicial Review
The principle by which the power of government are divided among separate branches. In the context of the government of the United States of America, according to the Constitution, the three branches of the government - Executive (President) - Legislative (Congress) - Judicial (the Courts) - each have have their own powers. By separating Powers between branches of government you prevent any individual branch from gaining too much power. Each branch has the ability to be a check on the actions of other branches, this is commonly called a system of checks and balances.

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?
