1 Do Now Name all three branches of government and what powers each has.

2 Checks and Balances Ms. Baquedano

3 Checks and Balances System that allows each branch of government to limit the powers of the other two branches

4 Why? Framers were very scared of having a strong national government
Created 3 branches, but still needed to balance their power

5 Check Allows one branch to block the actions of another
Ex: President can veto a law Congress proposes Ex: Supreme Court can declare an executive order unconstitutional

6 Balance Allows the other branches to have a role in the others’ actions Ex: Judges and ambassadors are only appointed by the president once the Senate confirms them

7 Other examples Congress can override a veto the president makes
Supreme Court can declare a law signed by president and made by Senate unconstitutional President can make treaties with countries, once Congress approves
