Checks and Balances was designed to keep each branch from assuming too much power. Presidential power is checked and balanced in many ways. While he can veto various bills and keep them from becoming laws, he can be overridden by a 2/3 vote in both houses. SO if the Congress feels like the President is over stepping his bounds then they can in turn overrule him. The Supreme Court is also in the mix in that if they deem a law to be unconstitutional then they can rule it so and the law is no more. Presidents can influence Supreme Courts by whom they nominate for open positions (or in the case of one President, attempt to add more judges to the Court). However, after the nomination is made and the Senate approves and confirms them then they are free. The only way a Judge can be removed is they are found to be doing something illegal, deemed incompetent and unable to continue doing their job, resign, or die. This allows judges to "operate outside the realm of politics." The idea is that they can focus and not worry about politics and we can assume that decisions will be made free from political influences and bribery.
Montesquieu concluded that the best form of government was one in which the legislative, executive, and judicial branches were separate and kept each other in check so that no branch became too powerful.
The concept of dividing government power into three branches was dubbed "separation of powers" by Montesquieu.
He believed it was critical to establish separate branches of government with equal but distinct powers. In this manner, the government would avoid vesting too much power in a single person or group of people. According to Montesquieu, there are three types of governments: republican governments (which can be democratic or aristocratic), monarchies, and despotisms.

Complaint #3
I find that the first selfish thing the British did was in the early 1760's, when they imposed taxes on the colonists without their consent. The colonists then ordered no taxation without representation. I chose this as my first complaint because the colonists had to use their own money to pay for the British governments debt for The French and Indian war.
Complaint #2
In my opinion the third most important complaint was "He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures." This means that when the war was in a time of peace the colonists inferred that the British troops were going back to Britain. They didn't though, lots of troops stayed in America. In fact most stayed at the colonists' houses for free.
Complaint #4
The lowest ranked out of the 5 complaints to me was when the British cut off trade with all parts of the world. England only allowed the colonies to trade with them. They clearly did not want to trade with just the British. Therefore they had to improvised by making their own clothes, tools, growing their own food etc. There was a bright side of this complaint though. The colonies became reliant on each other, which brought them closer together.

Complaint #5
Another unjustified thing the British did was depriving them in many cases, of the benefit of trial by juries. For example during the sugar act colonists smuggled goods that had taxes on them (so that they didn't have to pay). Well the British obviously didn't like that. So instead of colonists having their own trial the British just arrested them. They didn't give the people a chance to prove if they were innocent or not.
Complaint #1
<span>The fourth complaint to me is, "He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people." For example in 1768, the Representative Assembly of Massachusetts sent a letter to the King and his parliament. It was about making the law disappear about the British restricting America. I put this as the fourth one because the individual rights of the people are necessary in a free and democratic society. Without them America wouldn't be what it is today.</span>
