The constitution of the United States set up a set of checks and balances among the three branches of government. The Legislative, Executive and Judicial powers constitute the structure of the american government, and they have power to check each other's way of work.
One example of the check and balance system is that the Supreme court of the United States may check congress by declaring a law passed by this one as unconstitutional. This is a clear check limit used against the legislative power, that is the congress. But on the other hand, the power is balanced because the members of the Supreme Court are appointed by the President of the country (the Executive power), and to be appointed they have to be approved by the Congress.
Executive branch has the power to check the
legislative branch by vetoing laws that Congress
wants to pass
This provides a mastery of advantage over the Legislative branch by the Executive branch.
Legislative branch may check the executive branch
by passing laws over the veto by two-thirds vote in
each house
This provides a mastery of advantage over the Executive branch by the Legislative branch.
Judicial branch may check both the legislative and
executive by declaring laws unconstitutional.
This provides a mastery of advantage over both the executive and legislative branches by the Judicial branch.
