In general, you can look at the Supreme court checking congress (by overturning unconstitutional laws), congress checks the president (through investigation committees, and eventually potential impeachment) and the president checks the Supreme court (by appointing justices). There are some smaller checks that run counter to this order (like the President can veto congressional bills), but they're much more minor powers. Most of the time, the "checking" of presidential power by the supreme court happens by the court striking down laws passed through congress that the president has thrown a considerable amount of political weight behind (think many of FDR's new deal programs, some of which were struck down by the court. Obamacare also narrowly had some of it's components struck down by the court). The Supreme court can strike down executive orders that are unconstitutional. President Trump's muslim ban, for instance, had some of it's elements stricken down by the court in just the last month.

What is the punishment for Russian serfs who submit unlawful petitions complaining of their landlords
Citrus2011 [14]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although no options were attached we can say the following,

The punishment for Russian serfs who submit unlawful petitions complaining of their landlords was a harsh punishment by the whip and could be deported to the prison of Nerchinsk, to be jailed for life.

We are talking about the time of Russian Empress Catherine the Great, who got to the throne of Russia after forcing the abdication of King Peter III.

Internal problems motivated peasants and poor people to demand changes in servitude. That is why the government published a decree in 1767, where the Russian empire condemned serfs and poor people that initiated protests or rebelling asking for better living conditions.

melamori03 [73]

To protect individual rights, the Anti-Federalists wanted to add a bill of rights to the Constitution.

While Federalists supported the Constitution,<u> Anti-Federalists were against the ratification of the Constitution since they believed that this document gave too much power to the central government</u>, which posed a risk to the individual liberty. In order to protect the individual rights, Anti-Federalists wanted to add a Bill of Rights to the Constitution, even though Federalists did not think that this was necessary. However, <u>the Bill of Rights, which was inspired by the Virginia Declaration of Rights, was finally approved in Congress in 1789</u>.
