How does the system of checks and balances slow down the process of government?

Answer 1

The system of checks and balances slows down the process of government by forcing changes to follow a specific process. One branch can propose changes, but then the changes must be approved elsewhere before the changes can take effect. This causes things to move more slowly than they might, but keeps any one branch from making unilateral changes.

Answer 2

some would say yes;because it may take a long time to get things done (like legislation passed for example) or another example is electing a new supreme court judge, because the pres keeps nominating while the senate keeps saying 'no go'

Answer 3

That is the reason we have that kind of system. It does slow things down and give more time to debate a subject. It also increases the possibility of compromise.
