Each branch of government(Legislative, Executive, and Judicial) checks the other branch. For example, The Legislative Branch checks the Executive, the Executive branch checks the Judicial, and the Judicial checks the Legislative. When each branch checks the other, they make sure that that branch is not too powerful or too weak. -Trent S. Fresno
