Checks and balances is the system established in the Constitution by the Founding Fathers to ensure that one branch of the federal government cannot gain too much. Ex: Only Congress can make laws via passing bills but the President can veto a bill. However, the Congress can then override the President with 2/3 consent and by doing that they make sure that we basically don't "redo history" and become another England.
