“..the constant aim is to divide and arrange the several offices in such a manner as that they may be a check on the other…(The three branches) should not be so far separated as to have no constitutional control over each other,”(James Madison, Federalist Papers #51). This basically tells us that they use a system of checks and balances to divide the power to make it all equal. James Madison does believe that there can by tyranny in democracy if someone has more than one set of powers like if someone was in the House of Representatives and the Supreme Court. That one person would have too much power and could mess up the whole government system to get what he/she wants. The system of checks and balances keep each branch in order, so everybody has a say in what’s going on. One way the Legislative Branch checks the Executive Branch is by approving Presidential nominations and one way Legislative checks the Judicial is by impeaching and removing judges from office. One way Executive Branch checks Legislative Branch is the president vetoing Congressional legislation and one way they check Judicial Branch is by nominating the judges when there’s a spot open. Lastly, one way Judicial Branch checks Legislative Branch is by declaring laws unconstitutional and they check Executive Branch by declaring presidential acts unconstitutional. Using Checks and Balances, all three branches share equal
