Answer and Explanation:

The main control of the government is its submission to the people, that is, the will of the people and the supremacy that the people have within politics is what limits and controls the actions of the government in all political spheres.

However, to ensure that such control is always possible, the founders included constitutional reinforcements. These reinforcements are associated with the concept of separation of powers, where the national government has limited power, which must be divided among the states.
