The system of checks and balances is an important part of the Constitution. With checks and balances, each of the three branches of government can limit the powers of the others. This way, no one branch becomes too powerful. Each branch “checks” the power of the other branches to make sure that the power is balanced between them. How does this system of checks and balances work?

The process of how laws are made (see the following page) is a good example of checks and balances in action. First, the legislative branch introduces and votes on a bill. The bill then goes to the executive branch, where the President decides whether he thinks the bill is good for the country. If so, he signs the bill, and it becomes a law.

If the President does not believe the bill is good for the country, he does not sign it. This is called a veto. But the legislative branch gets another chance. With enough votes, the legislative branch can override the executive branch's veto, and the bill becomes a law.

What countries do you think might offer some strategic advantage to the Nazis based on their location? Explain your answer. Plea

Alexus [3.1K]

First thing that comes to mind is Russia had a strategic advantage to the Nazis. The Russian military knew the terrain (I believe it was mountainous) and the cold climate helped push back the Nazis. The Nazis actually tried to get into Russia. That was the only country I could think of.

Most countries, I think did not have the military power to stop Hitler/Nazis from invading them.

Hopefully this helps.

The idea of cause and effect, Hume thinks,

OverLord2011 [107]

Letter A is the correct answer.

As a matter of fact, people can create ideas from simple impressions, which can be by contiguity, resemblance, and cause and effect. David Hume was a very well-known British empiricist in the Early Modern Period who suggested that the idea of cause and effect is simply based on the discovery of relations between pairs of events and that assumptions of cause and effect between a pair of events cannot been considered 100% true. According to him, unless there is a rule that the future will always resemble the past, we can't justify what we believe is true based on past experiences.

Trevor spent his 10-year sentence in a maximum-security prison. There he witnessed assaults and even murders. Oftentimes, he was

gavmur [86]

Answer:

Deterrence.

Explanation:

Deterrence refers to the idea that the threat of punishment will discourage possible criminals from breaking the law. In order for deterrence to work, it must be both credible and uninviting enough, so would-be criminals consider the cost of breaking the law much higher than the cost of respecting it.

In this case, Trevor has already been punished by a previous crime. However, the assaults and murderers he witnessed during his ten years in a maximum security prison will act a deterrent. In order to avoid landing in prison again and having to live fearing for his life everyday, Trevor will be determined to never again commit a crime. He considers the cost of landing in prison again to be much higher than respecting the law, so he's being deterred.
