Article 3: Separation of Powers & Judicial Review

To prevent the consolidation of power in any single department, this Constitution establishes a system of checks and balances. Each department of government shall have specific powers to restrain the others from the unwarranted exercise of constitutional authority. The Legislative Department shall have the power to override a veto by the Executive and may impeach and remove from office members of the Executive and Judicial Departments. The Executive Department shall have the power to veto legislative acts and shall appoint, with the consent of the Legislative Department, members of the Judicial Department. The Judicial Department shall exercise the power of judicial review, enabling it to declare acts of the Legislative and Executive Departments to be in violation of this Constitution.
