Yes, check and balances limit the potential for anything to become too powerful and too big.

The Judaical Branch uphold the rights given therefore by the constitution.

Yes, the constitution protects those rights for the government not to impose its hand or will.

For example the government cannot take our weapons away, the right to protect ourselves with arms, is limiting the government in its power and most importantly its need.

Can the government make you testify, no you have the right to plead the 5th.

Congress can be limited by the President and visa versa.

Each can override each other in certain circumstances which would be a major political sacrifice on both sides, and would need a majority backing for a consistent period of time to override any one power.

The 3 checks and balances of our federal government and the Constitution, keeps it from becoming too big.

The concept of a limited government is expressed throughout the U.S. Constitution. In it the rights of the individual are understood to be natural and inviolate. The U.S. Constitution makes it clear that while States and federal governments may have legislative responsibilities, these only exist, and may only be expressed within the limits of a People's rights.

It placed a lot of constraints on the exercise of executive power as well as on Congess. It divided the power of government into three branches in the hopes that the branches would battle each other, thus stopping any one branch from becoming too powerful.
