(Constitutional Principle) power btwn the branches is balanced- 3. CHECKS & BALANCES (Constitutional Principle) no one branch of gov has enough power to dominate the others each branch has specific powers & responsibilities some powers are shared with other branches Ex: 1. Congress makes laws 2. President has to accept or veto the new law 3. U.S. Supreme Ct. can declare the law unconstitutional

4. Separation & Sharing of Power means gov can’t reach decisions quickly 4. Separation & Sharing of Power Advantages: Makes sure all decisions (new laws, etc.) are in the best interest of the country new laws can be prevented if one of the branches has concerns about it Judicial branch manages conflicts between Leg. & Exec. branches

means gov can’t reach decisions quickly 4. cont. Separation & Sharing of Power Disadvantages: sometimes can take a long time to address issues that are very important to the people political fighting can lead to GRIDLOCK: a “jam up” in the law making process; no one willing to compromise
