Federalism, created in the United States Constitution, is the dividing and sharing of powers between a central (national) government and local (states) government. The Constitution created a government with three branches, the Executive, the Legislative, and the Judicial. Each branch has it own powers but it also has powers in order to check the power of the other two branches and to share powers with the other two branches. Example: the Congress can pass a law, the President can veto or sign the bill into law, and the Supreme Court may declare the law unconstitutional.
In Federalist No. 51, Madison argues for the separation of powers to prevent any one branch of government from becoming too powerful and to ensure that each branch can check the others. He believes that this system of checks and balances is essential to protect individual liberties and maintain a stable government. By dividing powers among the legislative, executive, and judicial branches, each branch can guard against tyranny and abuses of power, fostering a balance that safeguards democracy.
obviously this is not the whole system, but it is the main idea # executive branch has the power to check the legislative branch by vetoing laws congress wants to pass # Legislative branch may check the executive branch by passing laws over the veto by 2/3 vote in each house # judicial branch checks both legislative and executive branches by being able to declare laws unconstitutional
The judicial branch is one of the three main branches of government, responsible for interpreting laws and administering justice. It includes courts and judges who ensure that laws align with the constitution and resolve disputes. This branch protects individual rights and liberties by upholding the rule of law and providing a check on the powers of the executive and legislative branches.

The veto
Basically, each of the three branches of government have specific powers that belong to that branch only. For example, the primary duty of the Legislative Branch is to make laws, The Executive Branch enforces or carries out the laws, and the judicial branch upholds the laws and may determine the validity of the laws by holding them up against the Constitution. As far as checks and balances, there are several examples: The Executive Branch can appoint justices to the Supreme Court, but congress must approve these appointments, further, these justices will serve for life to then check the power of later presidents. The Legislative Branch can remove a justice if certain criteria are met. The Judicial Branch can determine acts/laws unconstitutional to check the powers of both the Legislative and Executive Branch. The Executive Branch may veto Legislative acts, however, the Legislature may override this veto. The Legislature may also carry out impeachment hearings against the President if warranted.
In the states, the answer will usually be the federal government. Exceptions will be issues over which authority was not specifically assigned by the Constitution. In such cases, sovereignty belongs to the states.

It is to make sure that no part of the government gets too powerful. (legislative, executive, judicial) Each branch can limit the others.
The Legislative branch's main purpose is writing laws. The Legislative branch is composed of the house of representatives and the senate. The Legislative branch can also declare war, approve treaties, and grant money.
Separation of powers is the principle of American government whereby constitutional authority is distributed among three braches of government--the executive, the legislative, and the judicial. Each has their own powers and can check the powers of the other two branches. The Constitution set up each branch in a separate Article of the Constitution.There is also a separation of power among the US states
Each branch of government checks each other in the system of checks and balances. This includes the legislative branch, along with the the executive and judicial. The branches basically check each other to make sure no branch is abusing their powers.
