Question

how do the three branches of the us government limit each other’s powers?
○ through popular sovereignty and federalism
○ through the house and senate
○ through amendments and articles
○ through checks and balances

Explanation:

• Popular sovereignty (people's rule) and federalism (state - federal power division) don't limit the three branches' powers over each other.
• The House and Senate are part of the legislative branch, not a mechanism for inter - branch power limitation.
• Amendments and articles are part of the Constitution's structure, not the direct way branches limit each other.
• Checks and balances is the system where each of the three branches (executive, legislative, judicial) has powers to check the others, e.g., the president can veto legislation (executive checking legislative), Congress can override a veto (legislative checking executive), and the courts can declare laws unconstitutional (judicial checking legislative).

Answer:

D. through checks and balances
