Explanation:

• Question 17: Article I of the U.S. Constitution grants Congress (the legislative branch) powers such as coining money, making treaties, and levying import duties.
• Question 18: A writ of habeas corpus is a legal action that requires a person (or agency, like a prison) to prove to a court that the prisoner is being held lawfully. In this case, the suspect is imprisoned without being returned in a timely manner, so a writ of habeas corpus would be appropriate to challenge the legality of their imprisonment.
• Question 19: The power of impeachment is the ability of the U.S. House of Representatives to charge (impeach) federal officers with a crime or violation. The Senate then holds a trial for removal.

Answer:

1. A. Article I
2. B. petition for a writ of habeas corpus
3. A. the ability of the U.S. House to charge federal officers with a crime or violation
