A
Not enough laws are there to control power.
B
separation of powers checks the other branches
C
the president of the U.S. has all the control
D
no one branch wants to be powerful
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Checks and Balances system provides each branch of government with individual powers to check the other branches and prevent any one branch from becoming too powerful.

Detailed explanation-2: -To be sure that one branch does not become more powerful than the others, the Government has a system called checks and balances. Through this system, each branch is given power to check on the other two branches.

Detailed explanation-3: -Checks and balances are practiced by the U.S. government in the following ways. First, the legislative branch is the part of the government that makes laws, but the executive branch gives veto power to the president, allowing the president to keep the legislative branch in check.

Detailed explanation-4: -Separation of powers, therefore, refers to the division of government responsibilities into distinct branches to limit any one branch from exercising the core functions of another. The intent is to prevent the concentration of power and provide for checks and balances.
