Yes. And the ultimate check on all of the other processes is the citizenry. We elect representatives of ours to write laws, we elect representatives of ours to execute laws, and we, through the jury process, judge those who are accused of breaking the laws that we (through our representatives) caused to be put into place.
In a very real way, the citizens of the jury are provided with power to prevent injustice in the application of the laws which have been put in place in our name.
