0.4.3 - reading: an overview of american government
checks and balances
to prevent any one branch of government from becoming too powerful, the u.s. constitution created a system known as checks and balances. this system gives each of the three branches - legislative, executive, and judicial - the ability to limit the powers of the others. for example, the president (executive branch) can veto laws passed by congress (legislative branch), but congress can override the veto with a two - thirds vote in both houses. these checks and balances reduce the risk of government abuse and help protect individual rights by keeping power in check.
