Answer 1

1. The two parts of the federal government are the Executive Branch (President Donald Trump) and the Judicial Branch (Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh).

2. This is an example of checks and balances because the President nominated Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, but the Senate must approve the nomination. The Senate Judiciary Committee held hearings to evaluate Kavanaugh's qualifications and allegations against him, demonstrating the separation of powers and ensuring oversight of the President's choices for the judiciary.
