because our gov didnt want one total control branch. so they set up the checks and balances system

The framers of the Constitution had an awareness that concentrated that power was dangerous; and expected each branch of government ( Legislative, Executive, Judicial) would try to expand their powers, thus the Consititution it's self would block each other's overly ambitious actions, hence Checks and Balances- where each of the 3 branches have the power to limit the actions of each other. They check and balance each other out.
