In 60 BC, Caesar, Crassus and Pompey formed the First Triumvirate, a political alliance that dominated Roman politics for several years. Their attempts to amass power as Poplars were opposed by the Optimates within the Roman Senate, among them Cato the Younger with the frequent support of Cicero. Caesar rose to become one of the most powerful politicians in the Roman Republic through a string of military victories in the Gallic Wars, completed by 51 BC, which greatly extended Roman territory. During this time he both invaded Britain and built a bridge across the Rhine river. These achievements and the support of his veteran army threatened to eclipse the standing of Pompey, who had realigned himself with the Senate after the death of Crassus in 53 BC. With the Gallic Wars concluded, the Senate ordered Caesar to step down from his military command and return to Rome. Leaving his command in Gaul would mean losing his immunity to criminal prosecution by his enemies; knowing this, Caesar openly defied the Senate's authority by crossing the Rubicon and marching towards Rome at the head of an army.[2] This began Caesar's civil war, which he won, leaving him in a position of near unchallenged power and influence.

1) = B) Administering the law is a function of the executive branch of government. Writing the laws and repealing of laws are functions of the legislative branch, and challenging legislation in court is a function of the judicial branch.


2) = D) Limiting the president's ability to commit troops to an undeclared war was the reason why Congress enacted the War Powers Resolution in 1973. The resolution, passed by Congress over President Nixon's veto, requires the President of the United States to notify Congress within 48 hours of committing armed forces to any military action. Armed forces cannot remain deployed for more than 60 days (plus a 30-day withdrawal period), unless Congress authorizes the use of military force or enacts a declaration of war.


3) = B) Executive agreements differ from treaties in that a treaty requires approval by the senate an executive agreement does not. In the 19th century, about half of the United States' international agreements were treaties and half executive agreements. In the 20th and now 21st cenutry, more than 90% of US international agreements have been created as executive agreements.


<span>4) = A) The president's executive powers of clemency an example of checks and balances because clemency can overturn federal court decisions. So clemency functions as an instance of the executive branch challenging and changing a decision of the judicial branch.</span>
