Answer:

A a drug that slows nervous system activity and relaxes tension

Explanation:  

Depressants are chemical substances that directly affect the Central Nervous System, causing a slow or low brain activity and are accompanied by feelings of relaxation, like when drinking alcohol, a legal depressant , or benzodiazepines, that are commonly more known as sleeping pills, they cause drowsiness, lowering levels of blood pressure, and other drugs like barbiturates, often have a big sedative effect.

<em>Many different kinds of depressants include also  substances coming from Opioids, for lessening pain, or Cannabis, commonly and recently studied for its  Effects of Central Nervous System </em>

Since the Central nervous system depressants increase the production of the neurotransmitter GABA, the sensations often associated to the brain will be opposed to the other antagonic processes : stimulating drugs.

From where does check ans balance came from
EastWind [94]
Checks and Balances

The system of checks and balances is an important part of the Constitution. 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. How does this system of checks and balances work?

The process of how laws are made (see the following page) is a good example of checks and balances in action. First, the legislative branch introduces and votes on a bill. The bill then goes to the executive branch, where the President decides whether he thinks the bill is good for the country. If so, he signs the bill, and it becomes a law.

If the President does not believe the bill is good for the country, he does not sign it. This is called a veto. But the legislative branch gets another chance. With enough votes, the legislative branch can override the executive branch's veto, and the bill becomes a law.

Once a law is in place, the people of the country can test it through the court system, which is under the control of the judicial branch. If someone believes a law is unfair, a lawsuit can be filed. Lawyers then make arguments for and against the case, and a judge decides which side has presented the most convincing arguments. The side that loses can choose to appeal to a higher court, and may eventually reach the highest court of all, the Supreme Court.

If the legislative branch does not agree with the way in which the judicial branch has interpreted the law, they can introduce a new piece of legislation, and the process starts all over again.
