History

Kazeer [188]3 years ago

Answer: Each branch has certain controls over the other two to prevent abuse of power

Explanation:

The Checks and Balances principle goes hand in hand with the principle of Separation of Powers in the U.S. Constitution which divides the powers of the Federal Government into 3 branches being the Legislative, the Judiciary and the Executive.

This brings checks and balances to the powers that the various branches have as the branches will have powers that may override the powers of another branch if it is deemed that the overridden branch is abusing its mandate.

For instance, Congress (Legislative) may have the power to pass laws but if the President (Executive) does not assent to it, the law will not go into effect.

Another instance is how the Supreme Court (Legislative) can declare Executive orders unconstitutional but the same Executive branch gets to nominate the members of the Supreme Court.

explain which region of the country, North, South, or west favored tariffs and why or which region opposed tariffs and why
vodomira [7]
It really depends on the specific time period and what kind of tariffs to have an exact answer, but in general the North and West were more pro-tariff, while the South and East opposed them. The Western colonies/states relied heavily on trade with their large plantations of money-crops like tobacco and sugar, and thus saw tariffs as hurting profits from trade. The North did not produce as much crops due to the colder climate and rocky soil, so they saw tariffs as a way to support the national and state governments (After the United States was established). The west similarly did not have as much emphasis on trade, as it was too far from the coast to benefit from trade routes in Europe, thus they sometimes leaned away from being pro-tariff, but not always. There are different kinds of tariffs, from interstate tariffs created after the Revolution, to earlier tariffs with European nations so it's hard to pinpoint an exact answer, but I hope this at least helped.
