“It is important . . . that the habits of thinking in a free country should inspire caution in those entrusted with its administ

ration, to confine themselves within their respective constitutional spheres, avoiding in the exercise of the powers of one department to encroach upon another. The spirit of encroachment tends to consolidate the powers of all the departments in one, and thus to create . . . a real despotism. A just estimate of that love of power, and proneness to abuse it, which predominates in the human heart, is sufficient to satisfy us of the truth of this Position.”
-George Washington

Checks and balances refers to the specific powers held by each branch of government in order to both invoke their own branches power while also making sure that other branches are not abusing their power. The statement “avoiding the exercise of the powers of one department to encroach upon another” refers to this checks and balances system most clearly, in that it mentions directly that the powers of one branch should not exceed that of another nor should one branch be allowed to abuse their power, the checks and balances system insures that does not happen.

Predict what would happen if the same experiment was conducted with different amounts of water.
Mama L [17]

Hello. You did not present the experiment to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.

It is likely that the amount of water presented in the question above is a variable in the experiment. This allows us to consider that if the experiment were carried out with different amounts of water, this experiment would provide inaccurate data and the results would not be considered true, making it impossible for a precise conclusion to be revealed.

This would happen because an experiment must distribute the variables, in all treatments, with the same amount and intensity. Therefore, to promote accurate data, the experiment must use an equal amount of water in all treatments.
