Question

how do the separation of powers and the system of checks and balances seek to balance liberty and order in the constitutional system?
by concentrating power in one branch
by distributing powers among branches and allowing them to limit each other
by abolishing elections
by eliminating judicial review

Explanation:

The separation of powers divides government functions among different branches (legislative, executive, judicial), and checks - and - balances allows each branch to limit the others. This prevents any one branch from becoming too powerful, protecting individual liberties while maintaining order through a structured system of governance. Concentrating power in one branch would lead to tyranny, abolishing elections would undermine democratic order and liberty, and eliminating judicial review would remove a key check on the other branches.

Answer:

B. By distributing powers among branches and allowing them to limit each other
