The Citizen's Playbook | Episode 5: The Three Branches - A Balancing Act

Join Judge Stephen Knights and Joseph Henning for a new episode of The Citizen's Playbook, the Henry County Chamber's civic education podcast presented by Georgia Power.

This week's episode, "The Three Branches: A Balancing Act," demonstrates the mechanisms of checks and balances in action as the primary defense against concentrated power.

This week's featured guest is Dr. Michael Lynch, Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of Georgia.

Each episode in this series includes a specific call to action, or homework. Here's this week's assignment: Find one news story from the past year where one branch of the federal government limited the power of another. Analyze if the check was effective or just created grid lock.

Whether you're interested in federal, state, or local government, The Citizen's Playbook makes civics approachable, practical, and relevant to everyday life.
