I'm Trying
The iron triangle refers to all types of metal pieced together in a triangle. JK anyways, the iron triangle refers to the specific parts in our government. For example, congressional committees, interest groups, and a federal department or agency. The iron triangle refers to a strong alliance between all of these groups. A triangle cannot exist without all sides being present. When we apply this to governmental terms we can see that this system cannot work without the other partners. This supports the checks and balances system in that one part cannot overpower another one. All government in our country has checks and balances because with too much power, there becomes tyranny. It is a useful system if it is worked properly. If all sides contribute to their specific jobs and duties then there is no hassle in it. Power is evenly distributed to make the system equal and functional. Without this system it would be difficult for legislation to get accomplished. This system is simple, and efficient.
