In the United States, the organization of the legislative, executive, and judicial branches is known as the system of checks and balances. This system is designed to ensure that each branch of government has specific powers and responsibilities that serve as a check on the other branches to prevent any one branch from becoming too powerful. The legislative branch is responsible for making laws, the executive branch is responsible for enforcing laws, and the judicial branch is responsible for interpreting laws and ensuring they are applied fairly.
