Question

what is the term for the limiting of powers between the 3 branches of government?
democracy and representation
check and balances
pardons and executions

Explanation:

• Democracy and Representation: Focuses on the people's role in governance (voting, electing representatives), not power - limiting between branches.
• Check and Balances: A system where each of the three branches (legislative, executive, judicial) can limit the powers of the others. For example, the legislative branch can pass laws, but the executive can veto them, and the judicial can declare laws unconstitutional.
• Pardons and Executions: Related to the executive's power to forgive crimes (pardons) and carry out punishments (executions in some contexts), not power - sharing between branches.

Answer:

B. Check and Balances
