The single event that most tarnished Ford's presidency was his decision to pardon Nixon. He also, however, presided over the worst US economy since the Great Depression.
The answer is, To argue for, there's the obvious, which is that the colonists didn't
like their lack of voice within British Parliament. They also didn't
like how Britain was treating other colonies, what would become Canada
for instance, with similar laws and codes seen in the US colonies. You
could also argue that it was a more financial decision, as the taxes
placed upon the colonies and the restrictions on trade were hurting
American businesses. Honestly, an argument combining the two would
probably be more rounded.
The system of checks and balances makes sure that one branch of gov. Doesn't get more powerful than the other by giving different powers to different branches. Like a certain branch can't do something without the "thumbs up" from the other branch. For example, the Executive Branch can veto bills from the Legislative Branch, but the Legislative Branch can override the veto. Hopefully that helped!!
