How republics limit government power

A republic can limit the power of government through a system of checks and balances. This means that different branches of government (executive, legislative, and judicial) have distinct powers and responsibilities, and each branch has the ability to check the powers of the others. For example, the executive branch can veto legislation from the legislative branch, while the judicial branch can review laws for their constitutionality. This ensures that no single branch becomes too powerful and that the rights of citizens are protected.
