Describe how the three branches of U.S government each work to check and balance the power of the others. Give examples of how these checks and balances keep any one branch from becoming to powerful.
(please make it sound like a fifth grader and less than 100 words thank you)
The three branches of the U.S. government are like referees in a game to make sure nobody cheats! The Executive Branch, run by the President, can veto laws from Congress. Congress, with the Legislative Branch, can impeach the President if needed. And the Judicial Branch, like judges, can declare laws unconstitutional. This way, no branch can become too powerful because they all have to agree to make big decisions. It's like having three superheroes watching each other to make sure no one gets too bossy!
