Question

Summarize the system of checks and balances between the three branches of American government. In your opinion, is any one branch more powerful than the other two? Why or why not? What could be done to more evenly distribute power between the branches?

Answer 1

The system of checks and balances was created so that one branch does not obtain more power and virtually "conquer" the government. It was created by our founding fathers when they realized that there first draft of an idea of government was not very easy to handle. Those were the Articles of Confederation which gave a few branches to much power over the people and government. In my opinion, the power of the branches is more or less fairly split.
