 Power to manage conflicts about the meaning, application, and enforcement of laws  The court system – judges, courts

 Powers of the different branches of government are balanced  No one branch can completely dominate the others  The powers are “checked” or “kept in check” because some powers are shared with other branches

 Separate the powers of government ◦ Divide power among different branches or parts  Balance the powers among the branches of government ◦ Divide the power so that no one branch controls the other branches
