Detailed explanation-1: -In addition to this separation of powers, the framers built a system of checks and balances designed to guard against tyranny by ensuring that no branch would grab too much power.

Detailed explanation-2: -You can use checks to make payments, give as a gift, or transfer money between two entities. They are a secure way to transfer money, since the payee is the only one who can instruct the bank to transfer the funds to their account. If a check is lost or stolen, no one else is able to cash the check.
