Answer 1

Answer:

1) True

Explanation:

The checks and balances system allows every one of the government branches a say on new laws. First of all, Congress makes and passes laws. Second, the President can veto any law, and Congress needs two-thirds votes on both houses to overrun the presidential veto. Third, the Supreme Court decides if the law is constitutional or not, if it decides that the law is unconstitutional, it is eliminated completely or partially depending on the ruling.
