Checks and Balances

According to the Constitution, government is divided into three branches:  legislative (includes House of Representatives and the Senate), which makes the laws, Executive (includes the President and his Cabinet), which makes sure the law is carried out, and Judiciary (includes state, federal, and supreme court), which interprets the law. 

Through the Constitution, the government is designed to have a set of checks and balances, which means that no one person or branch becomes too powerful.  With this system, the three branches are seen as equal and they can work together towards a common goal. 

In the system of checks and balances one branch can block or check an action of another branch in order to maintain a balance of power in the government. It makes compromise and consensus necessary. This system protects against extremes. It means, for example, that new presidents cannot radically change governmental policies just as they wish. In the USA, when people say "government" they usually mean the whole system (the executive branch and the president, Congress and the courts).
