WAEC - Government (2009 - No. 13)
The principle of checks and balances is aimed at
allowing for a fusion of powers among the organs of government
preventing any organ of government from performing its duties
allowing for total independence of the three organs of government
preventing any organ of government from becoming too powerful
Penjelasan
With checks and balances, each of the three branches of government can limit the powers of the others. This way, no one branch becomes too powerful. Each branch “checks” the power of the other branches to make sure that the power is balanced between them.
