hy did the framers of the Constitution divide the government's power into three branches?

The framers of the Constitution divided the government's power into three branches in order to create a system of checks and balances. This was done to prevent any one branch from becoming too powerful and potentially abusing their authority. The division of powers ensures that each branch has specific roles and responsibilities, and they are designed to act as a check on each other's actions. This system of checks and balances helps to maintain a balance of power and protect against the concentration of power in a single branch.

Give one example of a branches 'check' on another.

One example of a branch's 'check' on another is the power of the legislative branch (Congress) to override a presidential veto. If the president vetoes a bill passed by Congress, the legislative branch can override the veto with a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. This allows Congress to check the power of the executive branch and enforce their decision to pass the bill into law despite the president's objection.
