The correct answer is A) so that no single branch of the government would gain too much power.
<em>The concepts of checks and balances were established by the authors of the Constitution so that no single branch of the government would gain too much power.</em>
This concept is a valuable precept because with the checks and balances can prevent wrongdoings from the other parts of the government and the exercise of power is divided equally. In the United States, the Constitution acknowledges three branches: the executive, that in the presidency of the U.S., the legislative, that is the House of Representatives and the Senate, and finally, the Judiciary, that is the Supreme Court.
Okay, the other answer is wrong. The Electoral College's votes are what decide if you can be president or not. So people who actually became president (like Lincoln) did recieve enough votes from the Electoral College. However, during his own election, Al Gore didn't get enough votes from the Electoral College in the Presidential Election in 2000. That's why he lost the election, even though his popular vote was higher.
Hope this helps!
