How does the 3 branches of government create a balance government?

Answer 1

They didn't for a little while there, but we'll get back to that in a minute.

The mechanism used for keeping the three branches equal in importance is called a system of "Checks and Balances". Our constitution lays out a series of things for which each branch oversees primarily, and also things for which they need approval from other branches. For example the President of the United States, as the Head of the Executive branch, has the authority to Veto any bill passed by both houses of Congress (Legislative Branch). That's his check over that branch, but if they can get a 2/3 majority vote then it becomes a law even without Presidential approval. That's their way of balancing the President's check.

From 2000 until 2006, President Bush enjoyed a Republican majority in both houses of Congress. His position as President of the United States makes him the Leader of the Republican party, which I feel gave him a little more power over the Legislature than the framers intended in the Constitution. But in 2006, the Democrats won a slight majority in both houses, so the power balance tipped back for a while.
