First, the Roman Catholic Church was the only church at this time. As such, it was felt to have a monopoly on religious knowledge and on the relationship between Europeans and God. In other words, the Church could control who went to Heaven and who went to Hell. This gave it tremendous power over people’s lives. The Church did much to determine how people would live since it said what was permissible and what was not.Second, the Church was a major political force during this time. Kings and queens wanted and needed papal approval, particularly when they were somewhat weak (as in times of conflict over succession). This, among other things, allowed the Church to exercise political power as it could help to determine which claimants to a throne would be deemed acceptable. There was a long history of tension between the church and secular authority over this and other political issues.<span>Finally, the Church was deeply involved in economic life. The Church controlled a great deal of land (the main source of wealth at this time), largely because it owned monasteries. By owning all the land connected to the monasteries (often willed to it by people wanting to ensure their own salvation), the Church was a major economic power.</span>

La respuesta correcta para esta pregunta abierta es la siguiente.
A pesar de que no se anexan opciones o incisos para responder a la pregunta, podemos comentar lo siguiente.
Explique por qué el poder ejecutivo tiene tantos controles sobre los poderes que tiene. ¿De qué querían estar seguros los primeros estadounidenses?
Los Padres fundadores como Benjamín Franklin, Alexander, Hamilton, James Madison o Thomas Jefferson, fueron conscientes de que el gobierno federal de la nueva nación -los Estados Unidos- debería constituirse bajo un esquema de división de poderes que equilibrara a los tres niveles del gobierno federal: el Ejecutivo, e Legislativo y el Judicial.
Por esa razón, los Padres Fundadores quería estar seguros de que en realidad existiera siempre un equilibrio entre esos tres poderes. Entonces fue que crearon el sistema que llamaron "checks and balances," que pudiera traducirse al Español como "el sistema que regula y equilibra el poder de los tres niveles de gobierno.
El objetivo era claro, que ninguno de los tres poderes tuviera más facultades que los otros dos.
Es decir, que hubiera mecanismos legales para que el Congreso controlara a la Suprema Corte de Justicia, y ésta a su vez al Congreso. Lo mismo con el Presidente, que tuviera poderes sobre el Congreso, pero que el Congreso también tuviera facultades sobre el Presidente.
