Question

the concept of checks and balances ensures that

each branch of government does not have power over the others.

only one branch of government maintains power over the others.

each branch of government has the ability to limit the power of the others.

no branch of government has a separate power from the others.

Explanation:

Checks and balances is a system in government where each branch (executive, legislative, judicial) has the ability to limit the power of the other branches. This prevents any one branch from becoming too powerful. For example, the legislative branch can pass laws, but the executive branch can veto them. The judicial branch can declare laws unconstitutional.

Answer:

each branch of government has the ability to limit the power of the others.
