Question 58 (1 point)
The Executive not only dispenses the honors, but holds the sword of the community. The legislature not only commands the purse, but prescribes the rules by which the duties and rights of every citizen are to be regulated. The judiciary, on the contrary, has no influence over either the sword or the purse.
It may truly be said to have neither FORCE nor WILL, but merely
judgment.

Answer 1

For the first question regarding the sequence of events involving President Woodrow Wilson and the Treaty of Versailles, the correct answer is:

O a checks and Balances

This sequence demonstrates the checks and balances principle because it shows how the legislative branch (the Senate) has the power to refuse to ratify a treaty negotiated by the executive branch (the President), highlighting the system designed to prevent any one branch of government from having too much power.

For the second question regarding Alexander Hamilton's excerpt, the correct answer is:

O d Separation of powers

In this excerpt, Hamilton describes the distinct roles of the different branches of government—executive, legislative, and judicial. He emphasizes that the judiciary has neither force nor will, indicating a clear separation of powers among the branches of government, which is a foundational principle of the United States system of governance.
