This week I learned about checks and balances. Who knew that our government survives on these? Well, I didn't! Checks and balances keep us all working together. Our government was designed to have representatives, chosen by the people to govern all of us. We, the people, have agreed with the Constitution and live by it. Checks and balances are to help us all live fairly and to help us work stuff out. Sometimes, when some power is given to somebody, they use the power given to them and then take more. Checks and balances help the duties of the representatives stay focused, governed and purposeful. Thanks to these checks and balances, our government is still a republic.
