When the framers our state's constitution began to create it, they looked to the U. S. Constitution as a model. Much like the national government, they created a state government in which each branch could keep the others from having too much power. For example, the State Supreme Court can - once a law has been passed and enforced - rule that the law violates the state constitution. If this happens, the law is no longer enforced. What principle of government is being described in this passage? A) Federalism B) Separation of Powers C) Checks and Balances D) Republican Government

    The Constitution divided our government into 3 branches: legislative, executive, and judicial. A system of checks and balances ensures that even though there is a separation of power between the 3 branches, they work together to ensure there is not too much power in one branch.

    Congress creates the laws, processes a bill, and then sends it to the president to sign into law or veto and send back to the Congress to vote again. The judicial branch reviews the law and decides if it constitutional or not.
