Explanation:

• For Q.7: Judicial review allows the Supreme Court to check the constitutionality of laws and actions, thus affecting its powers. The election process mainly pertains to electing officials, the amendment process to changing the Constitution, and the veto is a presidential power.
• For Q.8: The 26th Amendment giving 18 - year - olds the right to vote is an example of popular sovereignty as it reflects the will of the people being incorporated into the Constitution. Separation of powers divides government powers among branches, checks and balances is about one branch checking another, and federalism is about the relationship between the federal and state governments.
• For Q.9: The President needing the advice of the Senate to make treaties is an example of checks and balances as one branch (the Senate) has a role in an action of another branch (the President). Federalism is about the federal - state relationship, limited government refers to constraints on government power in general, and popular sovereignty is about the power of the people.

Answer:

Q.7: C. the use of judicial review
Q.8: C. popular sovereignty
Q.9: B. checks and balances
