Answer:

In terms of gov.t, Checks and Balances, which is the principle of government under which separate branches have the power to prevent actions by other branches and are induced to share power.

Step-by-step explanation:

- 1st Example -

> The Judicial branch/Supreme court CHECKS on the Executive branch/President to make sure that the laws that they enforce is (Un)constitutional and would BALANCE the power it enforces.

- 2nd Example -

> The Legislative branch/Congress CHECKS on the Judicial branch/Supreme Court to make sure that they are doing their job on interpreting the laws to make the law (un)constitutional

.. I hope this helps ..
