For example, if the Executive Branch were to become too powerful, then the government could easily become a dictatorship instead of a democracy. To protect against this, the founding fathers distributed power equally between the three branches of government. They also set up ways that each branch “checks” the power of the other branches, so that no one branch of government can operate without having to interact with and get the approval of the other two. ]]> 2022-01-02 13:24:04 UTC https://padlet.com/noellepatrice/kpuwvm9e4xbten79/wish/1970718153 noellepatrice https://padlet.com/noellepatrice/kpuwvm9e4xbten79/wish/1970756810 Create a Venn Diagram comparing summarizing and paraphrasing using the information you've learned.
