What stops one branch of government to becoming too powerful?
What stops one branch of government from becoming to powerful is another government branch through "checks and balances."
Describe how the system of checks and balances might work in the federal government?
A simple explanation is that each of the three branches are inhibited by and can inhibit the other branches. The executive branch can inhibit the legislative by vetoing and can inhibit the Judicial by appointing judges. The legislative can inhibit the executive by overriding the veto and can inhibit the judicial by impeachment and how far their power stretches The judicial stops the executive by declaring its actions unconstitutional and the congress by interpreting the laws passed

What are the checks of the judicial branch?
The judiciary can be checked by self-imposed limits, presidential appointments, executive enforcement, congressional powers, and federalism. However, the judiciary is still the most powerful branch of government. None, once they become justices -- the senate confirms you as a justice. The only "checks" they have is themselves and the other justices. Some purests would say the Constitution -- but the Supreme Court interprets the Constitution. It is actually the best branch of government (in my opinion). You are appointed for life and no one can make you leave. In theory, the Judiciary only acts at the request of the Executive Branch or The People when someone is charged with a crime and they decide if the law in question is Constitutional or not. The ultimate check on the Judiciary is the Legislature's ability, with approval of 3/4 of the states, to ammend the Constitution. Unfortunately, this option has seldom been applied.
