Question

what is correct?

Answer 1

The scenario that best illustrates the system of checks and balances is: Congress impeaching a Supreme Court Justice.

This scenario demonstrates the ability of one branch of government (Congress) to check the power of another branch (the Supreme Court) by removing justices who may be deemed unfit for their position, thereby maintaining a balance of power among the branches.
