The ratification of major executive decisions by the legislature is in line with the application of checks and balances. Checks and balances is a system where each branch of government (executive, legislative, and judicial) has some measure of influence over the other branches and can prevent any one branch from becoming too powerful. In this case, the legislature acts as a check on the power of the executive branch by reviewing and ratifying (or rejecting) major decisions made by the executive. This helps to ensure that no one branch of government becomes too dominant, and that each branch can check the power of the others.
