Answer 1

Answer:

A: Checks and balances

Explanation:

The system of Checks and Balance is the system whereby all three branches of the government can respond to the action of the other by overseeing, checking and limiting the other so no branch becomes too powerful.

The process of the passing of a bill is a great example of how this system works because in order to pass a law, first the Legislative branch has to propose and pass the bill, and then it has to be sent to the President for signature. Once the bill is on the President's hands, he or she can 1) Approve it 2) take no action at all, in this case, the bill automatically becomes a law after ten days or 3) veto it and send it with a written message to the house that proposed the bill. In this case, only if the bill gets enough votes, it is passed.

Answer 2

Checks in balances Congress can override a veto if 2/3 are in favor
