It can be said that society wants to punish the guilty;however, they are cautious when doing so.  Society is afraid that the justice system is placing an innocent person behind bars for every ten people that are being set free.  Our judicial system was put in place to protect the innocent and put the guilty behind bars; however, this is not so.  We have a corrupt society that contradicts itself from the lowest court system to the highest government powers of Congress.  When one political power takes control, it's like a gang or "mafia" take over with the people suffering without a voice.

Alright. judicial: they can declare laws made by Congress to be unconstitutional, this is called judicial review; they can declare executive orders to be unconstitutional as well. they are limited by the executive branch because the justices of the Supreme coart are put in place by the president and confirmed by Congress. they also have to judge based on the constitution which can be amended.
executive: can check the judicial branch through pardoning orders and choosing new justices, can check the legislative branch through suggesting bills, refusing to sign bills, and executive orders (which interpret how the law is enforced) the executive branch is also checked by the legislative branch in how all cabinet members are approved by Congress and the president can be impeached by Congress as well. it is checked by the judicial branch through judicial review of executive orders.
legislative: can impeach the president, confirm justices and cabinet members, and can change the constitution. checked by presidential veto, judicial review, and well their constituents too. hope this helped.
