Write a one-page summary describing the checks and balances of the U. S. Government. Use this chart and begin with the president or the executive branch. Note the duties of each branch and how it would be impossible for each branch of government to have too much power.

This question invites you to do your summary to show you are capable to do one. What we can do for you is to give you the basis to complete it.

You just have in mind that you did not attach the chart mentioned in the question.

The checks and balance system was the result of too much debating and discussion between the delegates that attended the Constitutional Convention held at the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in the summer of 1787.

There, the two sides, Federalists such as Alexander Hamilton and James Madison, and Antifederalists like Thomas Jefferson agreed to establish a federal government that included a division of power under the system of checks and balances.

The first branch was the Executive branch, which is the President of the United States. The President is the leader of the nation, the Chief Diplomat, and the Commander in Chief. He also is the leader of the presidential cabinet and appoints the members of important departments such as the Treasury Department, the State Department, the Commerce Department, and the Defense Department.

The second branch is the Legislative, formed by two chambers. The low chamber or House of Representatives and the upper chamber or the Senate. They create the laws in the United States.

Finally, the Judicial branch, that is the Supreme Court of the United States. It is the one to establish justice for all.
