BRAINLIEST FOR FASTEST!!! 99 POINTS!!! PLEASE HURRY!!! RIGHT THIS IN YOU'RE OWN WORDS!!! The checks and balances keep each branch of the government from using their job to get too powerful. ratifying the Constitution is that a strong national government is needed to protect citizens from threats. and that the Constitution should be ratified immediately to prevent damage. the Constitution does not provide enough protection for people's rights. tthere is Not enough protection for powers of state governments.
