Before, most people believed in a faith base system. God created this and that. However, deism came about and said that we could find our answers through what God created. Eventually, everything leads to one thing after another, and now we have scientific advances that (for example) declare that we orbit the son rather than everything orbiting us which was a faith based principle because if we weren't the center of the universe, then we weren't the center of Gods creation as many interpreted the bible. Before gravity and every other discovery, people thought that the Earth didn't rotate on an axis, choosing to believe that if it did, everything would simply "fling off the Earth."
Science explains matter, mass, black holes, time, space...
Answer:
D) Checks and balances.
Explanation:
Checks and balances are instated by a government to limit the amount of power a branch has on another by giving the other branches the ability to "check" and act on the other for a fair government. International relations would deal with standings with other countries, nations, or kingdoms, while executive veto is the power of the President to deny any bill that has been passed. But since this example doesn't describe Wilson vetoing anything, it can't be C. Rule of law is saying that anyone, no matter how much power, wealth, title or status you have, everyone is bound to the law. The option left is D, because the Senate is "limiting" the authority of the executive branch (a president and his cabinet) by refusing to approve the Versailles Treaty. And that's why Wilson and America didn't join the League of Nations.
