How is having the power of veto an example of checks and balances? * It allows an individual the abiilty to participate in government.

It allows the consuls to block laws they believe do not serve their personal interests.

It allows the senate to control Rome's finances.

It helps prevent one body of government from being too powerful

Hope this helps

The veto allows the President to “check” the legislature by reviewing acts passed by Congress and blocking measures he finds unconstitutional, unjust, or unwise. Congress's power to override the President's veto forms a “balance” between the branches on the lawmaking power.
