Sen: It's called checks and balances. Basically, no-one in govenment has enough power to unilaterally dictate a course of action. Obviously, in some instances (Pear harbor, september 11, 2001), the country and the government is galvanized of immediate reaction, but in the long run, any one part of the three banches of government can stop the other two (The supreme court can strike down a federal law, the persident can veto, and the combined senate can vote down either of those two).
