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.

Describe each type of economic system

allochka39001 [22]

There are 4 Types Of Economic Systems
1. traditional
2.command
3.market
4. mixed
A traditional economic system is the best place to start because it is, quite literally, the most traditional and ancient type of economy in the world.

Command economic system is the next step up from a traditional economy. This by no means indicates that it is fairer or an exact improvement; there are many things fundamentally wrong with a command economy.

A market economy is very similar to a free market. The government does not control vital resources, valuable goods or any other major segment of the economy.

A mixed economic system (also known as a Dual Economy) is just like it sounds (a combination of economic systems), but it primarily refers to a mixture of a market and command economy (for obvious reasons, a traditional economy does not typically mix well).
