<u>Answer:</u>

The king was referring to the ideals regarding the founding of the documents that had specific promises about the liberty and other rights of life as well as the pursuit that guarantees happiness. This, however, was to be achieved after amending some clauses in it.

The king also had a feeling that the U.S had failed to honor the promises that it had made to the African Americans that they will fulfill the promise for instance tax payment how they went into a full rebellion.

The president is able to check power of congress by
Mademuasel [1]

Correct answer:  A.  vetoing laws passed by Congress.

This is a significant power in the hands of the President.  Congressional decision making is affected by the knowledge that in both houses of Congress, a two-thirds majority will be needed to override the President's veto.  Historically, Congress has been able to override less than 10% of presidential vetoes.  So Congress will seek to make sure they have sufficient votes before proceeding with passage of a bill into law ...  unless they want to pass the legislation simply as a statement of principle, knowing they don't have the votes to override a veto.
