How did the framers of the Constitution try to limit the power of the national government? Separation of Powers: a key constitutional principle that divides the functions of government among three branches (legislative, executive, and judicial) to prevent any one branch from gaining too much power How did the framers of the Constitution try to keep one branch of the government from dominating the others? A system of checks and balances Checks: allow one branch to block the actions of other branch Congress can pass laws, but the president can check this power through veto. Congress can check the president’s veto power by a two-thirds majority vote in each house. Judicial branch can check the actions of both Congress and the president through its power of judicial review and so declare a law, a treaty, or an executive action unconstitutional. Balances: allow each branch of the government to have some role in the actions and power of the other branches Judges, ambassadors, and cabinet members are appointed only if the president nominates them and the Senate approves the nomination. President can sign treaties, but they only take effect if the Senate approves them. Powers of judicial branch are also balanced by the other branches. -- The Supreme Court can declare laws unconstitutional, but the president chooses federal judges, and the Senate must approve the appointments. Congress can impeach federal judges.
