Question

The United States Constitution provides for

Answer 1

C. Checks and balances,federalism,and separation of powers

Answer 2

The correct answer is "C".

The US constitution:

• Federalism established the way the US government operated by articulating state governments under the general government.

• Established the separation of the federal government in 3 powers: The Executive (President), The Legislative (Congress), and Judicial (The Supreme Court).

• Established checks and balances, which helps maintain the stability of power among the 3 branches of government. The President can veto a Law that Congress has passed, however, Congress can override that veto if it gets enough votes. On the other hand, the Supreme Court can declare a law passed by Congress as unconstitutional. Finally, The Supreme Court interprets the laws and makes decisions over them but it is the President who ultimately nominates Supreme Court Judges.
