Answer: a. The judiciary branch trying to hold a congressperson accountable if they overstep their role by meeting foreign leaders in an official diplomatic capacity to reverse US foreign policy.

Explanation: One important principle embodied in the U.S. Constitution is separation of powers.

If there are checks and balances, the branches of government can limit the powers of the others and no one branch will become too powerful over other branches. Checks and balances makes sure that the power is balanced between the branches of government.

The Executive Branch of government checks on Legislative by having the capability to veto bills. By rejection of appointments, the legislative Branch of government can put checks on the executive Branch. The legislative branch checks on Judicial by having the capacity to impeach the Supreme Court Justices.

Judicial Branch of government is the most powerful of all the branches. The Judicial Branch has the power to declare the acts of the congress and the executive branch of government un-constitutional.

Overstepping boundaries is unconstitutional in the US branches of government.
