3 Branches Checks and Balances |
|
This flowchart shows the checks and balances between the three parts of the federal government. It represents that one branch isn’t more powerful then the other. If the legislative Branch agrees on a law, the President can still veto. If the president approves it the Judicial Branch can declare presidential acts unconstitutional. Also Congress approves Presidential nominations but they have the power to impeach the President as well. In the state and federal government there are three branches; the legislative, executive, and judicial. This is to divide the power in an attempt to have each other check up on each other. For example the legislative branch makes the laws, the executive branch enforces laws, and the judicial branch interprets laws. This is the same statewide and federally. An example of this is the Judicial Branch can declare laws passed by the general assembly and the executive branch unlawful and unconstitutional. This is the same in the state and federal government. To become involved with each branch of government people elect state judges and help elect the president. They elect the senators in the federal government and can ask congress to pass laws or make a change. The senate and the HOR hear our ideas and their job is to make a change.
This basic video explains the three branches of government and how they have checks and balances between each other.
