Question

question 3 (dok 3)
why does the constitution limit each branch of government to certain powers?
a. to allow one branch to control the others
b. to ensure the government can act quickly
c. to prevent any branch from acting outside its assigned role
d. to reduce the number of government officials
correct answer:

Explanation:

The U.S. Constitution uses separation of powers to establish checks and balances, limiting each branch to specific powers to stop any single branch from overstepping its designated authority and accumulating too much power. Option A is incorrect because the system is designed to prevent one branch from controlling others, not allow it. Option B is wrong as the system can slow government action rather than enable quick action. Option D is irrelevant, as the limit on powers is not about reducing official numbers.

Answer:

C. To prevent any branch from acting outside its assigned role
