Explanation:

The U.S. Constitution establishes a system of checks and balances and separation of powers. Checks and balances allow each branch (legislative, executive, judicial) to limit the powers of the others. Separation of powers divides government responsibilities into distinct branches. The federal court system, including the Supreme Court (judicial branch), is limited by these two systems as they prevent any one branch from becoming too powerful. For example, Congress (legislative) can pass laws, but the courts (judicial) can declare them unconstitutional (checks and balances), and the judicial branch's power is separate from the law - making power of Congress (separation of powers).

Answer:

checks; balances
