Each of the three branches answers only to itself, with absolute power over the others.

Every branch is subject to checks and balances. Therefore, the second option does not apply. The third option also does not apply because Congress is not apart of the executive branch. The options below are correct.

- The judicial branch evaluates the laws and encompasses all federal courts.

- The legislative branch contains the Senate and the House of Representatives.
