Question
how does the system of checks and balances ensure that no single branch of government becomes too powerful?
it grants the executive branch certain powers to maintain authority
it ensures that the legislative branch focuses solely on reviewing laws.
it allows each branch to review and limit the actions of the others
it removes the judiciary’s power to interpret the constitution
The system of checks and balances in government is designed so that each branch (executive, legislative, judicial) can review and limit the actions of the other branches. This prevents any one branch from becoming too powerful. The option "It allows each branch to review and limit the actions of the others" correctly describes this. The first option focuses only on the executive, the second misrepresents the legislative's role, and the fourth is incorrect as the judiciary's power of judicial review is part of checks and balances, not removed.
