The idea of checks and balances was introduced to the United States by our founding fathers through the U.S. Constitution. This system of government was put in place to prevent the United States from becoming the monarchy that the U.S. fought to remove themselves from with the Revolutionary War. The three branches of government, the legislative branch, made up of the U.S. House and U.S. Senate; the executive branch, made up of the president, vice president, and the appointed Cabinet; and the judicial branch, made up of the nine Supreme Court justices, were created to keep the government’s power diluted, preventing one branch from overpowering another. With the introduction of Project 2025, the system of checks and balances that keep our country’s government successful will be weakened and dismantled.
