CIVIC/HISTORY: THE THREE BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT UNIT TEST.

DESCRIBED 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 TOO POWERFUL. IN 2 SENTENCES.

The three branches of the U.S. government - legislative, executive, and judicial - each have their own powers and responsibilities, but also have checks and balances in place to prevent any one branch from becoming too powerful. For example, the legislative branch can pass laws, but the executive branch can veto them, and the judicial branch can declare laws unconstitutional to keep the balance of power.
