government is subject to the will of the people.

Explanation:

Checks and balances is a principle in government where each branch (e.g., legislative, executive, judicial) can limit the powers of the other branches. This ensures that no single branch becomes too powerful. The option "Each part of government can review or stop the action of another part" directly aligns with this definition. The first option refers to the rule of law, the third to a human - rights aspect, and the fourth to popular sovereignty.

Answer:

B. Each part of government can review or stop the action of another part.
