Answer:

To ensure the principle of check and balance.

Step-by-step explanation:

To ensure that the integrity of the nation is not threatened by despotism, the forefathers of the nation have built a system of government in which the constitution is supreme. The superiority of the Constitution is upheld by means of checks and balances. Checks and Balances refer to a mechanism that prohibits any particular branch of the federal government of the United States from gaining too much power.
