A check on governmental power stands out to me because it is important that the government be regulated and the people's voices heard. I often forget that we have a right to speak out against the government because the government censors everything now. If the people did not hold the government accountable, then the government could and would do anything they want. When enough people speak out against the government, the government has to listen or take action. The Legislative, Executive, and Judicial branches all work like a triangle where each has power over the other, but none have too much power. The system of checks and balances makes sure that no one branch has too much power. As it stands, it is a good system, but as the government tries to silence the people, more and more people speak up.
