Checks and Balances. The system of checks and balances is an important part of the Constitution. With checks and balances, each of the three branches of government can limit the powers of the others. This way, no one branch becomes too powerful.
The system of checks and balances is used to keep the government from getting too powerful in one branch. For example, the Executive Branch can veto bills from the Legislative Branch, but the Legislative Branch can override the veto. At the end of class, see what students have learned by having them list 2 functions of each branch of government that further the checks and balances system. Set a timer for 3-5 minutes and allow students to jot down their thoughts, and collect studentsâ responses as they leave class.
