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.

Which geographic feature gave rise to early civilizations and empires in China ?
Sonbull [250]

The correct answer is Option D) Yellow River

The Yellow river is also known as the Huang He and is the second largest river in all of China.

It holds a special place in the history of the country as it is known as the birthplace of the ancient Chinese civilization.

Early civilizations all grew around large rivers which ensured plenty of water and great land.

The Egyptian Civilization grew around the Nile and the Indian civilization grew around the Indus River.

Similarly, the Yellow River gave birth to the early civilization in China, so much so that many historians say that the China we know today would not have existed if there was no Yellow River.

Explain 'Domino Theory' and how it relates to the Vietnam War. Are we using the same path and techniques with The War on Terror?
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Domino Theory is the theory that suggest that once Vietnam becomes communist, that the countries such as Cambodia, Laos, Indonesia, or even India may also fall under the communist regime.

We indeed are using the same techniques on the war against terrorism, seeing as how Afghanistan was once run by a terrorist government/a government whom supported terrorism, we feared that there was a change that Pakistan, or Iran, or Iraq would also fall under these Taliban governments.
