[10.3.11] Separation of Power & Checks and Balances

The Separation of Power and Checks and Balances are like a big restaurant. Customers come in and tell the waiter what they want to eat. The waiter brings that order to the cook and the cook makes the food for the customer. After eating, the customer pays for the food. That money goes back to the cook for cooking supply money and ingredients money. The two exist within this system since each person has his own special part in the "cycle," yet they all depend on each other. Of course, one part can function on its own for a while, but it eventually will fall. A cook can start with a supply of food, for example, and cook. That cook will surely get customers for his shop, but he isn't collecting any money for his products - so eventually all the food will run out and the cook will need to get more. However, since he did not profit from his food, he has no way to get more cooking ingredients. Therefore, he will go bankrupt and out of business. The same goes for the cashier - how is he or she supposed to make a profit by not selling anything? The cashier checks the cook by providing the cooking ingredients and is also balanced by the cook since the amount of money depends on the quality of food (bad cook = bad food = no customers = no money).
