The sequence illustrates the principle of "checks and balances," which is established by the ratification of the U.S. Constitution. This principle ensures that no single branch of government (executive, legislative, or judicial) can dominate the others, as each branch has the ability to limit the powers of the others. In this case, Congress passes a bill, the president vetoes it, and then Congress has the power to override that veto, demonstrating this system of checks and balances.
