Question 10 • FL-2100010-M/J United States History

How do the three branches of the US government limit each other’s powers?

Answer
A
through popular sovereignty and federalism
B
through the House and Senate
C
through amendments and articles
D
through checks and balances

Explanation

The three branches limit one another through checks and balances. For example, the president can veto a bill, Congress can override a veto, and the courts can rule laws unconstitutional. Popular sovereignty and federalism describe other ways power is organized, not how the branches restrain one another.
