Question

select the correct answer.
what concept is illustrated by the fact that congress has the power to introduce and pass laws, and the president has the responsibility to enforce all federal laws?
a. federalism
b. separation of powers
c. checks and balances
d. judicial review

Explanation:

The concept of separation of powers divides government responsibilities into distinct branches to prevent any one branch from exercising the core functions of another. Congress (legislative) makes laws, the President (executive) enforces them, which is a classic example of separation of powers. Federalism is about the division of power between national and state governments. Checks and balances involve one branch limiting another (e.g., President vetoing a law). Judicial review is the court's power to invalidate laws.

Answer:

B. separation of powers
