The new constitution included a system of checks and balances to ensure that no single branch of government would become too powerful and potentially abuse its authority. The framers of the constitution wanted to establish a government that could effectively govern and make decisions, but they also wanted to prevent the concentration of power in any one branch, as they had witnessed under British rule. They aimed to create a system where each branch of government, namely the executive, legislative, and judicial branches, would have separate and distinct powers, and they would be able to limit and counterbalance the actions of the other branches. This system of checks and balances was designed to maintain the separation of powers and protect the rights and freedoms of the citizens.
