Answer 1

1. The two parts of the federal government are the legislative branch (Congress) and the executive branch (President).

2. This is an example of checks and balances because both branches of the government are involved in the decision-making process. The legislative branch, represented by Congress, impeaches the President, who is part of the executive branch. This process ensures that no single branch of government has too much power and can act as a check on the actions of the others.
