b) The executive branch cannot veto legislation.
c) The executive branch has no power to decide on legislation.
d) The executive branch is prohibited from suspending laws at will.

Answer 1

The executive branch is prohibited from suspending laws at will.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement that exemplifies limited power in the United States, inspired by the English Bill of Rights and reflected in the Constitution, is (d) The executive branch is prohibited from suspending laws at will.

The English Bill of Rights, which influenced the United States Constitution, included provisions to prevent the monarch from suspending laws without consent. This limitation on the executive branch's power is reflected in Article I, Section 9 of the Constitution, which prohibits the suspension of the writ of habeas corpus except in cases of rebellion or invasion. This restriction ensures that the executive branch cannot suspend laws at will.
