Question

To prevent one branch from taking too much power, the Constitutional Convention set up a system of:
checks and balances
executive branches
national courts

Answer 1

a system of checks and balances

Answer 2

The correct answer is option A, Checks and Balances

The system of checks and Balances is of much importance in the Tripartite form of government.

This system was developed by the framers of the constitution to prevent the actions of the other branches from becoming powerful. Hence, all the three branches (  the Legislative, the Executive and the Judicially) of the system are induced to share power.
