Answer :

I believe the answer is: Divided government

With this system, the losing party could take the opposition stand from the winning party. Even though this might make the government activities become more complicated, it would prevent one party from obtaining too much power within the government.

Divided Government.

Further Explanation:  

A divided government in the United States is described as the situation when one party has control over the executive branch and the other party has control over one or both the houses in the legislative branch. This type of model is known as the separation of power. A state is divided into different branches. Every branch has independent and separate powers. The responsibility of one branch is not in the conflict with the other branches. The president has the control over the Congress over many matters like ratify treaties, passing of legislation. The model is in contrast with the Parliamentary form of government which is based on the fusion of powers. Here both branches of the government that is executive and legislative are united. The people in favor of dividing government believe that separation of power encourages more policing of people in power, limiting spending and expansion of irrelevant laws. The opponents argue that dividing government is more lethargic leading to gridlocks. Divided government is a compromise that is seen as beneficial but it also subverts performance and politicization of decisions in the executive agencies. In the early 20th century the divided government was rare but in the 1970s it became increasingly common.
