Checks and balances are the things that keep the President, Congress, and Judicial system from gaining too much power, putting their power at about even, thus keeping the government power limited.

Answer 12

i thought it was because We need to have an understanding of the Constitution in order to understand the structure and daily function of the American government. Compared to other countries, the U.S. Constitution is pretty simple and brief.

It is based on the principles of "The Spirit of Laws" by Charles-Louis de Secondat, the baron de Montesquieu, dividing political authority into executive, legislative, and judicial powers. The Constitution contains about 7000 words and is divided into 3 parts: the Preamble, the articles, and the amendments.
