The responses that best describe the framework for the Constitution are:
1. A system of checks and balances is designed to prevent abuse of power.
2. The separation of powers ensures that no one branch has too much power.
The other two options regarding the four branches and powers belonging to the federal government are not accurate. The U.S. Constitution establishes three branches of government (legislative, executive, and judicial), and powers not specifically granted to the federal government are typically reserved for the states or the people, according to the Tenth Amendment.
