Question 35 • 2025-2026_MDCPS_2109010-M/J World History Sem 2-CR

Which statement describes an example of checks and balances in the Roman Republic?

Answer
A
The judicial branch wrote and enacted laws.
B
A consul vetoed a law passed by the legislature.
C
The legislative branch debated and created laws.
D
The consuls appointed a dictator during a time of crisis.

Explanation

In the Roman Republic, consuls could veto decisions made by other officials or bodies, including laws passed by the legislature. That power allowed one part of government to limit another, which is an example of checks and balances. The statement that the legislative branch debated and created laws describes its regular job, not a check on another branch.
