Is the United States a Republic or a Democracy?
How does the US government ensure a balance of power among its branches?
The US government ensures a balance of power among its branches by using a system of checks and balances. This means that each branch of government has powers that can be used to limit the power of the other branches. For example, the President can veto laws passed by Congress, but Congress can override the veto with a two-thirds majority vote.
