Understanding Separation of Powers: Checks, Balances, and the Law-Making Process

Explore the vital principles of Separation of Powers and Checks and Balances that ensure no single branch of government becomes too powerful. This framework involves the interplay between the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial branches, empowering them to check each other’s authority. The legislative process illustrates how laws are proposed and vetoed, such as budget approvals and raises for Congress. Learn about important concepts like limited government and the mechanisms that uphold democratic governance, ensuring accountability and transparency in the law-making process.
