1. The graphic is about the checks and balances among the three branches of the U.S. government (Legislative, Executive, Judicial).
2. The Legislative branch (Congress) creates laws.
3. The Judicial branch (Supreme Court) checks the Legislative branch by ruling laws unconstitutional.
4. The framers did a good job. The system of checks and balances (as shown in the diagram) prevents any one branch from becoming too powerful. For example, the Executive can veto a bill (check on Legislative), the Judicial can rule laws unconstitutional (check on Legislative), and the Legislative can pass a bill (initiate the law - making process).
