Question

1. create — limiting government power

primary source context: the constitution divides power to prevent any one group from becoming too
powerful.

article i: congress makes laws
article ii: president enforces laws
article iii: courts interpret laws

drag each power to the branch that best limits government power.
legislative
executive
judicial

Explanation:

To solve this, we match the powers to the branches based on the U.S. Constitution:

• Legislative (Congress): Matches "Congress makes laws" (from Article I) as the Legislative branch is responsible for lawmaking.
• Executive (President): Matches "President enforces laws" (from Article II) as the Executive branch enforces laws.
• Judicial (Courts): Matches "Courts interpret laws" (from Article III) as the Judicial branch interprets laws. This separation of powers (checks and balances) limits government power by dividing authority among branches.

Answer:

• Legislative: Congress makes laws
• Executive: President enforces laws
• Judicial: Courts interpret laws
