Explanation:

To determine the example of checks and balances, we analyze each option:

• "All citizens have a right to a fair and speedy trial" relates to due process, not checks and balances.
• "The president can veto (no) laws passed by Congress" shows the executive branch (president) checking the legislative branch (Congress), which is a core example of checks and balances.
• "The Constitution is the supreme law of the land" refers to the supremacy clause, not checks and balances.

B. The president can veto (no) laws passed by Congress
