The best explanation of how a republic can limit the power of government is:

Republics are created by constitutions, which outline what a government can and cannot do.

Constitutions serve as a set of basic principles and rules that define the structure and powers of the government in a republic. They establish limits on the authority of the government, outlining what it can and cannot do. By setting these boundaries and providing a framework for governance, constitutions help ensure that the power of the government is limited and balanced, preventing an excessive concentration of power.

Answered by GPT 3.5
The outcome of World War I had a significant impact on shaping the United States' role as an international leader. Prior to the war, the United States had followed a policy of isolationism, with a focus on domestic affairs and avoiding involvement in foreign conflicts. However, the devastation and global implications of World War I shifted the course of American foreign policy. The United States emerged as a major world power, both militarily and economically, and recognized the need to engage in international affairs to safeguard its interests and promote peace and stability. The Treaty of Versailles, which ended the war, highlighted the United States' role in shaping the post-war order, although it chose not to ratify the treaty. This experience gave rise to a more proactive approach to international relations, with the United States advocating for collective security, economic cooperation, and the spread of democratic values. It paved the way for the United States' role in shaping the establishment of the League of Nations and subsequent efforts to maintain peace and stability. The outcome of World War I thus propelled the United States into a position of increased global prominence and leadership, marking the beginning of its journey towards becoming a pivotal international player.
