Question

definitions: a. the division of government into three branches: legislative, executive, and judicial. b. the idea that the government derives its power from the consent of the governed. c. a system where power is shared between national and state governments. d. the concept that the government must obey the law and cannot exercise powers beyond those granted in the constitution. e. a system that allows each branch of government to limit the powers of the other branches. f. the belief in electing representatives to make decisions on behalf of the people. g. the power of courts to declare laws and actions unconstitutional.

Explanation:

Since the problem (which likely involves matching these definitions to relevant political concepts, though the specific question is missing) is related to political concepts, the subfield from Social Science (Politics) applies. Assuming the task is to identify, for example, "Checks and Balances" which would match option E, here's the breakdown:

To identify the term for "a system that allows each branch of government to limit the powers of the other branches", we analyze each option:

• A: Separation of Powers (division into 3 branches)
• B: Popular Sovereignty (power from consent)
• C: Federalism (power shared between national/state)
• D: Limited Government (government obeys law/Constitution)
• E: Checks and Balances (each branch limits others)
• F: Republicanism (elect representatives)
• G: Judicial Review (courts declare laws/actions unconstitutional)

So the definition in E matches "Checks and Balances".

Answer:

E. A system that allows each branch of government to limit the powers of the other branches.
