Answer 2

In the U.S. government, the system of checks and balances ensures that no single branch becomes too powerful. Each branch has specific powers to check the other branches. The executive branch (president) can veto legislation, the judicial branch (courts) can declare laws unconstitutional, and the legislative branch (Congress) can override presidential vetoes.
