Simile/Metaphor

Metaphor for the American system of separation of powers and Checks and Balances.

The American system of separation of powers and Checks and Balances is like a volleyball game. The National Volleyball Association makes the rules as does the legislative branch, the coaches enforce the rules as does the executive branch, and the officials judge the rules as does the judicial branch. These rules made and carried out are just like the laws these branches use. All three of these groups need to work together to have stable and sucessful game.
