13. Read this excerpt from the textbook:

In, 1952, at the height of the Korean War, a labor dispute threatened to shut down the nation's steel industry and imperil the war effort. To avert a strike, President Harry Truman, acting as commander in chief, ordered the Secretary of Commerce to seize and operate several steel mills. But the Supreme Court found that here the President had overstepped his constitutional authority. It held that only Congress, acting under its commerce power, could authorize the seizure of private property in time of war, and it has not done so.
This is an example of
a- the judicial branch limiting the legislative branch
b- the legislative branch limiting the executive branch
c- the judicial branch limiting the executive branch
d- the legislative branch limiting the judicial branch.

Hi Ms. Sue,

DO you think you can help me out?

I got the answers for the test..

What were the answers?

12. To determine the answer to this question, you need to understand the powers granted to different branches of the U.S. government by the Constitution. In this excerpt from Article I, Section 8, it discusses the authority to declare war, grant letters of marque and reprisal, make rules regarding captures on land and water, and raise and support armies.

The power to declare war, grant letters of marque and reprisal, and make rules concerning captures on land and water are all examples of powers granted to the legislative branch. Therefore, the correct answer is c- the implied powers of the legislative branch.

13. To answer this question, you need to analyze the situation described in the excerpt and identify the branch of government that is involved in limiting another branch's authority. In this case, it states that President Harry Truman ordered the Secretary of Commerce to seize and operate several steel mills during the Korean War. However, the Supreme Court ruled that Truman had overstepped his constitutional authority, stating that only Congress, acting under its commerce power, could authorize the seizure of private property in times of war.

Therefore, the correct answer is b- the legislative branch limiting the executive branch.
