Describe how the U. S. Constitution helps limit the power of the government.

One important principle embodied in the U.S. Constitution is separation of powers. To prevent concentration of power, the U.S. Constitution divides the central government into three branches and creates a system of checks and balances. Each of the three governmental branches, legislative, executive and judicial, “checks” the powers of the other branches to make sure that the principal powers of the government are not concentrated in the hands of any single branch. The principle of separation of powers and the system of checks and balances perform essential functions and contribute to a stable political situation in the United States

Check and Balances

Explanation:

The Check and Balances system prevents each of the three 3 branches of the US government from becoming too powerful. The Legislative branch makes the law, the Executive branch enforces the law and the Judicial branch evaluates the law. The legislative branch can impeach the head(President) of the Executive branch. The President can veto the law that was passed by the Legislative branch. The Judicial branch can declare a new law unconstitutional if the new law violated the US constitution.
