Describe the 3 separate branches of government and explain the purpose of having a system of checks and balances among them?

Legislative, Executive, and Judicial branches.

Explanation:

The legislative branch drafts proposed laws, confirms or rejects presidential nominations for heads of federal agencies, federal judges, and the Supreme Court, and has the authority to declare war.

The executive is the branch of government exercising authority in and holding responsibility for the governance of a state. The executive executes and enforces law.

The judiciary is the system of courts that adjudicates legal disputes and interprets, defends and applies law in legal cases.
