Answer:

A system that allows each branch of a government to amend or veto acts of another branch so as to prevent any one branch from exerting too much power.

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.

Checks and balances, principle of government under which separate branches are empowered to prevent actions by other branches and are induced to share power. Checks and balances are applied primarily in constitutional governments.

yaroslaw [1]

Most cases have an acute onset or recurrent bouts of cough, dyspnea, or wheezing that respond to treatment with bronchodilators and corticosteroids, and are mainly the result of bronchial inflammation, airway smooth muscle hyper-reactivity, and bronchoconstriction.” </em>

World War I started in 1914, but the United States did not join until 1917. Explain two reasons why the United States finally de
Yakvenalex [24]

The two reasons:  

  • Britain intercepted the Zimmerman Telegram
  • Germany resumed unrestricted submarine warfare

Context/detail:

Public outrage in the US against the Germans swept the nation following the sinking of the British ocean liner, <em>Lusitania</em> -- but that happened before 1917.  When a German U-boat (submarine) sank the Lusitania in May, 1915, over 1,000 persons were killed, including more than 100 Americans. The passenger liner was targeted by the Germans because they suspected weapons were being shipped to Britain in the cargo hold of the ship.

Germany managed to stave off American entry into the war at the time by pledging to stop submarine attacks.  But a couple years later they resumed such attacks, and there was also an intercepted telegram (the "Zimmerman Telegram") that showed Germany was trying to secure Mexico as an ally against the United States.  

In 1917, the US declared war on Germany in response.
