The basic principles of federalism can be found in the U.S. Constitution. These principles include popular sovereignty, separation of powers, limited government, a checks and balances system, and judicial review.
To start with the second question first, the various checks and balances between the the three US branches of government are used on an almost daily basis. It is part of the natural operation of the US government that the various branches will exercise all of their powers.As for what the particular checks on power are in the United States, a complete list of those can be found on the following webpage: US Constitution Online
popular sovereignty, separation of powers, republicasnism, limited government, federalism, checks and balances, and individual rights.
Starting with Magna Carta, to the Glorious Revolution, the British system did develop a system of Checks and Balances that, later on, the American founding fathers built on to create the American government. The British government today is made up of executive branch(Prime Minister), legislative(House of Commons and House of Lords) and judicial(the Courts). Where in the US the head of government and head of state are both found in the office of the President, in Britain the two functions are split between the Monarch(head of state) and the Prime Minister(head of government). While it is not usually exercised, the Monarch does have a limited power of veto. In addition to the obvious methods of checks and balances, the British government has one more check in place that we in the US do not...if the Prime Minister's government(or administration) begins to fail, the Parliament can bring in a 'no confidence' vote, and a new election is called for to elect a new Prime Minister as well as a new government, whether or not the next election was scheduled.

Micr is found on the bottom of checks. It is used by banks to scan and process checks. Micr stands for magnetic ink character recognition.
To order business checks for discounted rates one can go to 'Check Depot'. There one can get manual checks, blank checks and computer checks. They can also be found on 'SuperValue Checks'.
The political system that separates the lawmaking and law-enforcing branches of government is known as a separation of powers, commonly found in democratic systems like the United States. In this system, legislative powers are vested in a parliament or congress that creates laws, while executive powers are held by a president or government that enforces those laws. This framework is designed to prevent the concentration of power and to provide checks and balances among the branches of government.
First and foremost, you must check if the checks you found are valid (if they are more than 90 days old, they are expired and they do not carry any value) If the checks you found are valid then you need to check if your name is on the check as the payee. You can only cash checks that are paid out to you. Cashing someone else's check is a crime and you can be jailed for it.
The presidential veto is instrumental to the checks and balances system, upon which the American government is based. Under this system, powers are actually shared; in the instance of the veto, it represents a sharing of the power over legislation between Congress and the president, based on the general proposition that power sharing is a viable means by which to avoid tyranny.
