Why does the U.S. government have three branches? Each branch of government has
special powers and jobs that the other branches do not have. And each branch checks,
or stops, the other branches from having too much power. This system is called checks
and balances. Here is an example of how checks and balances work: Congress creates
bills, but bills do not become laws until the president signs them. Congress is the head of
the legislative branch. The president is the head of the executive branch. The executive
branch checks the power of the legislative branch. But the judicial branch checks both other
branches. If a law is not fair, the judicial branch has the power to stop the law.
