Explanation: The principle of Checks and balances in government may be explained as an idea of power segmentation which allows each arm of a democratic government including the executive, the legislative and the judiciary to have a certain amount of power and control over policies, laws and reforms of a country. This idea is especially useful in checking the excesses of a certain arm of government and ensures that other arms are able to come in when a certain arm of government step beyond it's bounds.
