question 23
1 pts
several ____ within the environmental movement have joined forces to save this wilderness area.
encroachment
factions
pursuit
consent

Explanation:

• For the first question:
• The system of checks and balances is designed to prevent the concentration of power. Each department (executive, legislative, judicial) has the means to resist encroachments from the others. Federalism is about the division of power between national and state governments. Limited government refers to restrictions on government power in general. Democratic systems are about how the people govern. Madison's statement clearly refers to the checks - and - balances system.
• For the second question:
• "Encroachment" means an act of intruding. "Pursuit" is the act of chasing. "Consent" is permission. "Factions" are groups within a larger group. In the context of the environmental movement, different groups (factions) joining forces makes sense.

Answer:

• First question: System of checks and balances.
• Second question: Factions.
