The purpose of checks and balances in the government is **to keep one branch of government from becoming too powerful**. This system ensures that power is divided among the legislative, executive, and judicial branches, allowing each branch to check the powers of the others. This way, no single branch can dominate or abuse its authority, promoting a balanced and fair government.
