The definition for both is "counterbalancing influences by which an organization or system is regulated, typically those ensuring that political power is not concentrated in the hands of individuals or groups."

the system of checks and balances is a system where each of the three branches of government can limit the powers of others. This is how they make sure that one branch doesn't become too powerful.
