Answer: In government, the preceding system assures that no one branch of government becomes more powerful than the others.

Explanation:

The three branches of government include the executive, judiciary and legislative. The executive branch includes the president, the judiciary includes the Supreme Court and the legislative includes Congress. Power is limited in many ways, but an example of checks and balances with regard to the legislative branch includes the president's ability to veto a law that is passed by Congress. Similarly, the judicial branch, or the Supreme Court, may deem a law that is passed by Congress to be unconstitutional. While the president appoints members to the Supreme Court, the appointments have to be approved by Congress.

There are many roles of each branch of government, but every function of each role is designed so that it is checked over by another branch of government. For example, while the judiciary branch can proclaim interpretations of laws by Congress, they cannot change them.

One of the PRIMARY reasons that trade between nations takes place is because A) no nation can be economically self-sufficient. B
Fynjy0 [20]

The fourth alternative is correct (D).

Nations produce goods and services according to their productive capacity, their natural resources and the specialization of the workforce. In this way, some goods and services are expensive for a nation to produce, but are cheaper for other nations to produce.

Thus, if each nation specializes in the product in which it has a production advantage, nations can make tradeoffs. The country that has an advantage in the production of a good can export it to other countries and still can import the goods to which it is not specialized.
