Find the reasons in the information below and in the scheme on p. 45. The three main branches of government are separate from one another. The powers given to each are balanced by the other two.

For example, new presidents cannot change the government policies as they wish. According to the US Constitution Congress and the Supreme Court control the president’s power. The system of checks and balances makes compromise necessary. 6) Does the system of checks and balances add anything to the idea of democracy?

1) The judicial branch is represented by the Supreme Court.

2) The system of checks and balances works like this: each branch of government controls the other two. The President can veto bills passed by Congress, Congress can override the veto and approve appointments, and the Supreme Court can declare laws or presidential actions unconstitutional.

3) No, not any bill suggested by the President can become law. It must be approved by Congress and signed by the President, and Congress can also override a veto.

4) The US judicial branch is more powerful because the Supreme Court can check the actions of both Congress and the President and can decide whether laws and decisions are constitutional.

5) Americans say, “The President proposes, but Congress disposes,” because the President can suggest ideas and plans, but Congress decides whether they become law. The system of checks and balances makes compromise necessary.

6) Yes, it does. It adds to democracy because it prevents one branch from getting too much power and protects people from extremes and abuse of power.

7) The media is often considered the fourth branch of power because it can influence public opinion and control the government by informing people about its actions.

8) I partly agree. The US President is powerful, but his power is limited by Congress and the Supreme Court, so he cannot act alone.
