Question

Under a system of checks and balances:

1.each branch has unlimited power and authority.
2.branches cannot influence each other.
3.one branch is more powerful than the other branches.
4.branches have the power to limit each other.

Answer 1

Answer 4- branches have the power to limit each other

Answer 2

Answer is 4. Branches have the power to limit each other

In government, the purpose of checks and balances is to keep one body from having ultimate autonomous power so #1 is wrong.
#2 branches can influence each other but checks and balances prevent one power, so #2 is wrong. #3 one branch is more powerful than the other branches, this is wrong as checks and balances mean just that, the powers balance.
