In which Craig Benzine teaches you about the US Governments Separation of powers and the system of checks and balances. In theory, the Legislative Branch, the Executive Branch, and the Judicial Brach are designed to keep each other in check and to keep any branch from becoming too powerful. In reality, the system was designed to keep the President from becoming some kind of autocrat. For the most part, it has worked. Craig will call in the clones to explain which powers belong to which branches and to reveal some secret perks that the Supreme Court justices enjoy.

idk if this video holds up anymore with saying that the judicial branch has a small amount of power. Especially in the wake of watching them overturn a 50 year legal precedent after lying under oath that they wouldn't overturn such legal precedent (Roe v Wade). Democrats in congress have floated the idea of impeachment for lying under oath to secure lifetime seats, but it seems like that won't happen. The Supreme Court is currently being used to force minority rule on the country. And it wasn't just Roe v Wade. They ruled that teachers can legally lead their students in prayer (breaking seperation of church and state), as well as making it so you can't sue a cop for not reading your miranda rights. The list goes on, but it really doesn't seem like these checks and balances work to keep the will of the majority heard. A good start would be limiting terms for Supreme Court officials.
Watching again and posting the most recent comment !
2:32 I learn this more than I did in school
YEAH TEAM JACOB WHOOO!
So much for the judicial branch being the weakest 🙄
((Yeah I've been there before with those three (3) branch governments, 2 years ago)).
His methodology of teaching is not serious enough.
He spends more time trying to be humorous than conveying his messages- much to distracting for me.
I don't feel him… Too annoying!
review of the Judicial Review with Board of Education with Plessy Fergusson law of the trial of juries
"King George III, That guy was a jerk"😂 THAT KILLED ME😂
I don't like belittling the oaths. No wonder we have the most corrupt Congress that money can buy. PBS nurtures this mockery with this type of presentation to make it 'fun'? History can be interesting AND respectful. PBS reminds me CNN, MSNBC snarky elitism.
I can't stand the awful voices he keeps doing. They make it so hard to focus on what he's saying.
🧐
I didn't know Kermit was teaching us.
2:33 to 6:38
I am an online college student, i subscribed so i can learn more about the class im taking, i have a house full of kids and a full time job so i like to watch a vid on the subject im learning so get a better grasp of the content when i can not read through all the content provided
This man hates America so much. Punching bald eagle isn’t fun. America education system is deeply infiltrated by her enemies.
boring….
I learned more from this three videos than what I have learned in school when I went to HS.
Students: Finally NO SCHOOL! I can do whatever I want. Google Classroom: ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?
T
this guy is kinda annoying
This is short, sweet, and easy to comprehend unlike school which is always so complicated and hard to focus on smh.
Dude just talk. You don't need to do a million voices
if only the framers knew that a pandemic could throw avoidance of a tyrannical gov out the window 😢
I would have voted you for president. 🙂
omg it's the song from tik tok
Who’s here cramming for the AP Gove test today?
Englischprüfung kann kommen. 😂
"If men were angels, no government would be necessary" – James Madison
In the comments I constantly see people complaining about the voices he does I for one think the voices are helpful just like when you highlight different information in different colors to make them stand out against others he does the same with his voices which makes it easier to remember without writing it down it’s elementary my dears!
I also find the funny voices distracting and in my opinion unnecessary – otherwise very informative video.
A.P gov test is on the 11th good luck everyone
Please do for Constitution of India
Where are the AP G.O.P.O students at?

helpful… but that voice was kinda annoying and distracting i couldn't rly understand it either
The judiciary should have more power but only if the judiciary is 100 percent impartial. Unfortunately that is almost impossible.
I love the different voices and jokes, keeps the video from being so flat and stops ot from merging into one mush of sound!
The guy in the wig is funny because it sounds like stitch but a deeper voice
Why do I find it complicated
