Question

in the diagram below, the circles stand for the three branches of government. each arrow stands for the way one branch checks another. the supreme court can declare an act of congress unconstitutional. which arrow on the diagram stands for this check on legislative power?

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the branches

The three branches are Executive, Judicial, and Legislative. The Supreme Court is part of the Judicial branch, and Congress is part of the Legislative branch.

Step2: Determine the direction of the check

We need the arrow that goes from the Judicial branch (Supreme Court) to the Legislative branch (Congress) to represent the check where the Supreme Court declares a congressional act unconstitutional. Looking at the diagram, the arrow from Judicial to Legislative (the one pointing from the Judicial circle to the Legislative circle) is the one that represents this check.

Answer:

The arrow from the Judicial circle to the Legislative circle (the blue arrow going from "Judicial" to "Legislative").
