The system of checks and balances is the American Federal Government's way of ensuring that each branch has its own responsibilities but also has responsibilities, limits, and obligations as it pertains to the other branches of government.
This has worked well for most of the country's history but since the 1930s, the Presidency/Executive branch has become the branch that is possibly more powerful than the rest, especially in the minds of the people.
This is seen in the modern era, with the Presidency leading legislative pushes and leading their parties representatives in the House and Senate.
To fix this, the first step would be for the Senate to regain its authority when it comes to Foreign Affairs. Starting in the 1950s, the Executive branch used legal but suspect schemes to circumvent Congress' singular right to Declare war.
So, for the last 17 years, America has been fighting a war on terrorism without a Congressional declaration of war. The last time Congress declared war was in 1942, so Korea/Vietnam/Gulf War I/etc. were all accomplished without a Congressional declaration.
What we will need to see if Congress stepping up and acting like a co-equal branch of Government, instead of a branch subservient to the interests of the executive branch.

Option: (A)
<u>Explanation:

- The Ming Empire that ruled between the "fourteenth and the seventeenth century" had come to power after defeating the Huns in the north.
- The reason that the Mings succeeded in keeping their empire away from the hands of their enemies was that they took great measures to protect the frontiers of their empire.
- One such measure was of using a tremendous amount of building material to build the "northern part" of the "Great Wall of China" to be able to defend the Mongols on the other side.
America's Constitution was originally based off several other documents such as the Magna Carta and the Articles of Confederation. After the failure of the Articles of Confederation, the United States needed a document the would have the country work together as one body more than as 13 individual bodies. The Articles of Confederation did not allow the National Government to tax anybody, therefore making their only income from selling western land, borrowing from the states, or borrowing from other countries. They could not draft soldiers for war or regulate trade. This caused many issues when traveling across state lines or when trying to ship goods. They also did not have a president to lead the central government.
There were 5 main compromises that made the constitution work including the Great Compromise, the Three-Fifths Compromise, the Commerce Compromise, the Slave Trade Compromise, and finally the election of a President.
The Bill of Rights was adopted to insure all men equal freedoms and individual liberties in the eyes of the law and the Government.
