<em>Checks and balances </em>are a tool used in a political system to decrease the risk of centralization of power. They ensure that no one person or department has an absolute control over decisions. Checks and balances create separation of powers. In the U. S. checks and balances are exercised through its three branches of government: the legislative, the executive and the judicial. Each branch has special abilities. The legislative branch makes the laws but the executive branch gives the veto power to the president to veto these laws if necessary. The judicial branch may deem certain laws unconstitutional thus making them void.
