Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each example:

Checks on Congress (federal legislative branch):

• Striking down a law that limits voting rights: Congress makes laws, so striking down a congressional law (limiting voting rights) is a check on Congress.
• Declaring part of a federal law unconstitutional: Federal laws are made by Congress, so declaring a part unconstitutional checks Congress.
• Overturning a law that restricts free speech: A law restricting free speech would be a congressional law (as Congress makes laws), so overturning it checks Congress.

Checks on the President (executive branch):

• Ruling that an executive order violates the Constitution: Executive orders are from the President (executive branch), so ruling it unconstitutional checks the President.
• Stopping the president from removing protections for a group without legal authority: The President's action (removing protections) is executive, so stopping it checks the President.
• Blocking a presidential action that exceeds war powers: The President's war - power - related action is executive, so blocking it checks the President.
