3 branches of government in US(美国政府的三个权力机构)

The three branches of the U. S. government consist the executive branch which enforces the laws, the legislative branch which is responsible for making laws and the judicial branch holds the primary duty of reviewing the laws. Two guiding principles of the U. S. Constitution comprise the separation of power and the system of checks and balances. With the purpose of preventing power abuse, the two principles serve as fundamental roles in governing the nation for more than 200 years.

On the one hand, history has verified the significance of the power balance and power check system. For example, there is only one war on the land of United States and the abuse of power has been eliminated before it

arises. Moreover, despite changes in other parts of the law, the constitution remains stable for centuries.

On the other hand, the system of check and balance leads to inefficiency for the reason that it requires time and energy in passing a new law. For instance, it may take months or years in discussing a new while the unsolved problem has adverse effect on potential victims during the period. Another disadvantage arises from the discordant of three branches. As a result of checks and balances system, there may be quantities of disagreements among three branches. Thus, a quick decision in case of emergency may not be accessible.

In conclusion, the principle of U. S. constitution affords us lessons that merit attention but we need to combine them with our social structure and conditions.
