This is very hard to accomplish, as every member of each branch would need to agree to override their given authority. If this were accomplished however, then the three branches would have to forfeit their powers to Chuck Norris.

If one branch of the government had more power than the others this branch could become too powerful doing whatever this branch wanted to and it could shape the country anyway it wanted to with no check and balance system to stop that branch from becoming a corrupt and unfair government.

If by branches you refer to the U.S. Government, the answer is a bit complicated. Presidents and other ranking members of the Executive Branch as well as Federal Judges who make up the Judicial Branch can be removed from office by Congress for overstepping their bounds through the process of impeachment. If, however, Congress which makes up the Legislative Branch oversteps its bounds, it basically falls to the States to recall Members of Congress who are responsible for the abuse. However, not all States have recall procedures in place or even allow them. The only other recourse would be for Members of Congress to expel one or more of their own through ethics proceedings.

What would happen if any of the three government branches executive judicial or legislative were to greatly exceed its authority under the Constitution?

There would be abuse of power and corruption at all levels. The three branches of government have been designed and created to keep the "check and balances" system in place, exactly to prevent abuse and corruption from happening.


How did the convention exceed its authority?

Because they had only gathered to amend the Articles of the Confederation. They did not gather to write a whole new Constitution.


Limited government be found in the constitution?

The term "limited government" may not be found in the Constitution, but the concept of limited government is established in the Constitution by means of the definitions of the powers of the branches of the Government. Each branch has specified responsibilities and powers, and may not exceed those responsibilities and powers under the terms of the Constitution. In other words, the Constitution says what the Government should do, and that's all it can do. That's limited government. The Preamble of the Constitution explicitly gives the power of our government to "We the People". The fifth article gives "We the People" the right to amend the Constitution,ergo the government is not limited except by the will of the majority governed.The term "limited government"is illogical and not implied.
