the following screenshot of a fox news video feed happened after a recent supreme court decision. which principle relates most closely to the breaking news in the fox news video feed?
checks and balances
limited government
popular sovereignty
rule of law
Checks and balances is a principle where each branch of government has some control over the others. Here, the Supreme Court (judicial branch) making a decision about a legal immunity (which could relate to the executive branch, as Trump was a former president). This shows one branch (judicial) acting in a way that affects another (executive), which is in line with the checks - and - balances principle. Limited government is about the government's powers being restricted, but the focus here is on inter - branch interaction. Popular sovereignty is about the people being the source of power, which is not relevant. Rule of law is about laws applying equally, but the key element is the branch - to - branch check.
