A. They would keep any one branch from having too much power.

Explanation:

The system of check and balances is the system whereby all three branches of the government (the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial) oversees, limit and check each other. Under this system, each branch is able to respond to the action of the other, for example, when Congress approves a bill, it has to be approved by the President before it becomes a law. And if the bill becomes law but it happens to be against the Constitution, the Supreme Court has the power to declare the unconstitutionality of the law.

So, the main purpose of this system is to limit the scope of the branches and keep any one branch from having too much power.

pepin the short[a] (german: pippin der kurze, french: pépin le bref, c. 714 – 24 september 768) was the king of the franks from 751 until his death. he was the first of the carolingians to become king.[b][2]

the younger son of the frankish prince charles martel and his wife rotrude, pepin's upbringing was distinguished by the ecclesiastical education he had received from the monks of st. denis. succeeding his father as the mayor of the palace in 741, pepin reigned over francia jointly with his elder brother carloman. pepin ruled in neustria, burgundy, and provence, while his brother carloman established himself in austrasia, alemannia and thuringia. the brothers were active in suppressing revolts led by the bavarians, aquitanians, saxons, and the alemanni in the early years of their reign. in 743, they ended the frankish interregnum by choosing childeric iii, who was to be the last merovingian monarch, as figurehead king of the franks.
