In theory the separation of powers, which is interwoven into the constitutional fabric. there are three principle branches- the Legislative, which makes the laws, the executive, which carries them out- including the presidency, and the Judicial. There are overlaps and checks and balances familiar to all students of PAD ( problems of Americ an Democracy) The interlocks work like- well certain powers are denied to the states ( coining money, for example) states are not supposed to have border taxes for interstate commerce ( but, in practice they have tolls on tunnels and bridges which have the same effect) automobiles are still ( at this writing) licensed by individual states, but aircraft, ships and radios ( including amateur and CB sets) are federal. so it goes. there are a number of overlaps- I have mentioned the fact that border taxes are not only illegal but unconstitutional, but this is rationalized as maintenance fees on Bridges and tunnels- which often cross state lines! so it goes.

The system of checks and balances with in our democratic government is held in all three, the judicial, legislative, and executive branches. Mostly, however, in the judicial.(:

Checks and Balances. This is where each branch of government is put in place and has an equal amount of powers so that no one branch becomes to powerful.
