B. The legislative branch has fewer powers than the President.
C. The President makes and enacts the laws.
CD. The legislative branch cannot check presidential laws.

Answer 1

A. The President can reject a proposed law.

Step-by-step explanation:
The powers of our government derives from the Constitution, which has a strong and complex system called checks and balances, which was made to ensure that no branch of government overpowers the others and that the branches would keep each other in check.

The founding fathers wanted to prevent tyranny in the government, and so they thought if congress could make any law they wanted that it would be bad (to be vague) which is why bills that pass congress must go through the President, but if the President rejects the law than congress can convene to overrule this veto after considering reasoning which requires a 2/3 Supermajority.
