Question

“Every bill which shall have passed the house of representatives, and the Senate, shall, before it becomes a law be presented to the President of the United States: if he approve he shall sign it; but if not he shall return it, with his objections to the White House in which it shall have originated”- US Constitution
This quote reflects the principle of?
A) federalism
B) democracy
C) popular sovereignty
D) checks and balances

Answer 1

Answer:

D) Checks and Balances

Explanation:

A is the belief of a strong National Government which has no part to do with this quote.

B is democracy which if the term is broken down demo = people, cracy = rule

Democracy is roughly translated to people- rule, which the people kind of due because we have the right to vote, but that is not the answer.

C is popular sovereignty which is when a vote is being taken if one has more votes for yes than votes no it will take place, become a law etc,.

So finally the answer is D because the branches all work together to make sure that none of them go askew and gain concentration of power and so this way if a law was to be passed it must go through all branches, unless the House of Representatives chooses to vote again, but that is a different topic.
