Explanation:

1. Checks and Balances is a system to prevent any one branch from exerting too much power. Impeach means to charge with misconduct. The U.S. Census is a count of the population every 10 years. The Electoral College is a group of electors who vote for the President. Congress is made up of the House of Representatives and the Senate. The Speaker of the House is the presiding officer of the House of Representatives. Presidential Succession refers to the line of succession for the President.
2. For the requirements to be a U.S. Representative, a person must be at least 25 years old, a resident of the state he/she is elected from, and a U.S. citizen for at least 7 years, so all options are requirements.
3. The role of the Legislative Branch is to create laws. The Judicial Branch interprets laws and the Executive Branch enforces laws.
