It was time to set up a brand-new government. They knew they did not want to put too much power into the hands of one leader. Instead, they created three equal branches of government: the executive branch, the legislative branch, and the judicial branch. How could this new government make sure that one branch didn't gain too much power? Readers explore how the system of checks and balances works with examples of each type of check and balance. Additional information is presented in an easily understood graphic organizer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Rajczak\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1538264234\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781538264232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Gareth Stevens Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/30\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 24\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Library Binding\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 8.60w x 0.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2021 pg. 25","brand":"Michael Rajczak","offers":[{"title":"Library Binding","offer_id":44044700877055,"sku":"9781538264232","price":24.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_852c0bd9-4776-403e-98b6-38d8251d8dc7.jpg?v=1684974376","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/what-are-checks-and-balances-michael-rajczak-9781538264232","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
