Checks and balances is the system working between the three governmental branches: the executive branch, the legislative branch, and the judicial branch. The checks and balances ensure that one person cannot gain too much power as to become a dictator. If one branch gains too much power, the other two branches can act towards lowering the power.

I hope this helps!!
