How is a limited government created by the concept of checks and balances? It allows each branch of the government to control or stop the actions of the other branches. It lets each branch carry out the responsibilities of the others, which limits the power of any one branch. It limits the local, state, and national governments by equally distributing the power of government to each. It allows for each part of the government to be ranked based on its power, and thus limits the power they have.
