Question

the legislative branch has power to approve international treaties negotiated by the executive branch. this is an example of

a. limited government

b. federalism

c. popular sovereignty

d. checks and balances

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Limited government refers to government power being restricted, not about branch interactions here.
• Option B: Federalism is about power division between state and national governments, not branch - branch checks.
• Option C: Popular sovereignty is about people's power, not relevant to branch powers over each other.
• Option D: Checks and balances is when branches of government have powers to limit each other. The Legislative Branch approving Executive - negotiated treaties is a Legislative check on Executive, which fits checks and balances.

Answer:

D. Checks and balances
