Weegy: Principle of government under which separate branches are empowered to prevent actions by other branches and are induced to share power. Checks and balances are applied primarily in constitutional governments. [ They are of fundamental importance in tripartite governments, such as that of the U.S., that separate powers among legislative, executive, and judicial departments. Checks and balances, which modify the separation of powers, may operate under parliamentary systems through exercise of a parliament's prerogative to adopt a no-confidence vote against a government; the government, or cabinet, in turn, ordinarily may dissolve the parliament. In one-party political systems, informal checks and balances may operate when organs of an authoritarian or totalitarian regime compete for power. The three branches; legislative, executive, and judicial, keep one man or group from becoming too powerful. Each branch restrains the other from becoming too powerful through checks and balances. The executive branch can veto a passed law from the legislative, while the legislative branch can cancel that veto with 2 thirds vote from both houses of congress and the judicial branch can decide if a law is unconstitutional. The Judicial supreme court's members are appointed by the executive branch then approved by congress ]

Checks and balances is a system of governance where powers are distributed among different branches to prevent one from becoming too powerful. It ensures accountability and limits the abuse of power by allowing each branch to check and control the actions of the others.

In the United States government, an example of checks and balances is the President proposing laws, but Congress having the power to pass or reject them, and the Supreme Court interpreting laws and determining their constitutionality. This system prevents any one branch from having unchecked authority.
