Question

Why did the Framers of the Constitution want to include checks and balances in the federal government?

Answer 1

So that no one branch of government would have more power over the others.

Answer 2

Because that way, every one can see what the person is doing, his records, and stuff like that.
also, so that the person would not be lying to the court, they would know for sure, what and where this all happened.
Hope that this would help you!!
