Answer: The answer is true. However this may be wrong depending on the question, as this question is not complete. So, what is the full question?
Answer:
Once Congress has passed a bill, the president has the power to veto that bill. In turn, Congress can override a regular presidential veto by a two-thirds vote of both houses. ... By passing amendments to the Constitution, Congress can effectively check the decisions of the Supreme Court.
Explanation:
The correct answers are: the declaration of independence speaks of a divine creator and the declaration of the rights of man speaks of a supreme being. Both documents drew on the "natural law" philosophy of John Locke.
Indeed, the Declaration of independence explicitly mentions the Creator in the preamble:
“"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
The Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen mentions the Supreme being in its preamble as well:
“In consequence whereof, the National Assembly recognises and declares, in the presence and under the auspices of the Supreme Being, the following Rights of Man and of the Citizen.”
Finally, although both documents draw on the natural law philosophy of John Locke, the American version is more traditional in that it considers that such rights are given to humans by a deity or transcendent being of the same kind while the French version is more secular.
