The power to confirm executive appointments: The President receives the advice and consent of the Senate in a vote process to appoint federal judges, executive positions and ambassadors.
The power to approve international treaties made by the President: Two-thirds of the Senate must vote in favor to approve international treaties, as part of the check and balances system, to restrain the power of the President.

The French Revolution went on for
many bloody years due to political radicalism. The radicalism actually originated
from several parties with different views; some wanted a British style
constitutionalism while others are opposed to the revolution. Among these
parties is the far right Jacobin Club led by Maximilien Robespierre. Amidst the
chaos of subjecting the King to trial, forming the constitution, threat of war
with Austria. The nation was threatened of war by Austria and Prussia if the
king is harmed, which made the king look like a conspirator. Threats of war
made prices rise, and so the poor and the working poor sided with the most
radical party, the Jacobins. The king was executed, and the Jacobins went into
overdrive in eradicating anything that is counter-revolutionary.
<span> 1. The constitution - the legislative branch cannot enact laws that violate the constitution. this limit is kinda limited in that the legislative branch could vote to change the constitution, but it would be extremely difficult and would also need ratification by 2/3 of the states.
2. the president- congress can pass laws, but they are not official laws until the president signs them. the president can refuse to sign a law the legislative branch has passed or veto them. with a super majoiity the legislative branch can override a veto though.
3. the people - the people vote for who is in the legislative branch. if we dont like what they do we can vote in new guys.</span>
