JUDICIAL BRANCH Highest court: Supreme Court Decides the meanings of law and whether laws are being obeyed © Erin Kathryn 2014

Checks and Balances The Constitution created a government with three branches to make sure that the government never held too much power. Power is divided among the three branches. To prevent each branch from becoming stronger than another, a system of checks and balances was set up. Checks and balances are a system that allows each branch to limit or control the power of the other two. © Erin Kathryn 2014
