Question

if the haudenosaunee women who lead local clans believe their sachems are acting poorly, they can remove them from power. what phrase best describes this style of government? a absolute rule b checks and balances c divine monarchy d totalitarianism

Explanation:

The Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) had a system where women could remove leaders who were not performing well. This is a form of checks and balances, a system that allows for the limitation of power and removal of ineffective leadership. Absolute rule implies no checks on power. Divine monarchy is rule by a king or queen with a divine - right claim. Totalitarianism is a highly centralized and oppressive form of government with no such power - checking mechanisms by the people.

Answer:

B. Checks and balances
