The powers of the state government are divided among the three branches, so that the power of each branch can be balanced by the other two branches. For example, the governor (executive) can veto bills passed by the legislature. [He also can use a line item veto on any part of the budget passed by the legislature. He cannot veto constitutional amendments.] Legislature can override the governor's veto with a two-thirds vote. Finally, the judicial branch can use judicial review to determine if state laws are constitutional.
