An example of a check on the power of the legislative branch could be when the president decides to veto or reject a law that Congress has passed. ..However, an example of a check on the power of the executive branch could be if Congress decided to override a presidential veto. I guess another better example would be that the judicial branch has the power to declare acts of congress unconstitutional.
Hope this helps! :D
The correct answer is B: The League of Nations was an international organization designed to prevent war that was set up after World War I. WWI was named the "Great War" and "The war to end all wars"; never before had Europeans seen such scale of destruction. After the war the League of Nations was founded with the goal of preventing a new world war. However, it did not suceed. It lacked enforcement mechanisms, and depended on the will of the victors of WWI to enforce its resolutions. The U.S. never joined it officially, despite the fact that U.S. Presidente Woodrow Wilson was one of its main backers (this earned him the Nobel Peace Prize in 1919), and the Soviet Union was only briefly part of it; the absence of two of the most powerful states weakened its legitimacy. After failing to prevent World War II, it was dissolved in 1946, giving way to the United Nations, the international organization presently charged with keeping peace.
Because congress had a very limited power.

Answer:
America “lost” South Vietnam because it was an artificial construct created in the wake of the French loss of Indochina. Because there never was an “organic” nation of South Vietnam, when the U.S. discontinued to invest military assets into that construct, it eventually ceased to exist.
Explanation:
The United States continued to prop up South Vietnamese government with military forces, it is conceivable that the entity could have continued into the 1980s, thus bringing it closer to when the Soviet Union collapsed and most communist nations in the world (China being a notable exception) ceased to exist. However, the American public had grown tired of the loss of American lives and of the war itself, meaning that there’s was no way that U.S. military involvement in the region could continue.
Also, had the United States launched a full-scale military invasion of North Vietnam instead of confining the war to the southern half of the country, the war would have largely ended in the mid- to late 1960s. There would have been some guerrilla actions for years and perhaps some incursions from Laos or Cambodia, but there would have been a unified Vietnam that was noncommunist.
