Answer
A
establishing the Electoral College.
B
subjecting the president to the Articles of Confederation.
C
subjecting the president to checks by Congress.
D
agreeing to the Three-Fifths Compromise.

Explanation

The Constitution limited the president’s power by giving Congress ways to check the executive branch, including overriding a veto and impeaching and removing a president. The Three-Fifths Compromise concerned representation and taxation, while the Articles of Confederation did not govern the president. Therefore, the correct choice is “subjecting the president to checks by Congress.”
