i think the answers are E & B can someone check it please!
If E said “can” instead of “cannot,” it would be correct. Be sure to read everything very carefully.
so is E wrong? i thought that was right, I'll read it again
Never listen to writeteacher I have heared her before she only gives you hints that stress you out till you get the answers wrong. I havent done this one yet but I do know writeteacher. I have used her 3x and she has never been right.
To check your answers, let's go through each statement:
A. The bill of rights gives Congress power to tax citizens:
This statement is incorrect. The Bill of Rights does not specifically grant Congress the power to tax citizens. The power to tax is outlined in Article I, Section 8 of the United States Constitution, not in the Bill of Rights.
B. Federalism places limits on Congress by reserving certain powers to the courts:
This statement is incorrect. Federalism is the system of government in which power is divided between a central authority and constituent political units, such as states. While federalism does place limits on Congress by reserving certain powers to the states, it does not specifically reserve powers to the courts.
C. The Constitution limits Congress from passing certain kinds of laws:
This statement is true. The United States Constitution places specific limitations on the powers of Congress. For example, it outlines certain rights that cannot be infringed upon by Congress, such as the right to free speech, freedom of religion, and protection from unreasonable searches and seizures.
D. Separation of powers divides the national government into different branches:
This statement is true. The principle of separation of powers divides the powers of the national government between three separate branches: the legislative (Congress), executive (President), and judicial (courts). This division helps ensure a system of checks and balances.
E. Congress cannot override a veto by the President:
This statement is true. If the President vetoes a bill, Congress can attempt to override the veto. However, overriding a veto requires a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, making it difficult to override a Presidential veto.
Therefore, out of the given options, the true statements about the limits placed on Congress are C (The Constitution limits Congress from passing certain kinds of laws) and D (Separation of powers divides the national government into different branches).
Please read and reread your text with this question in mind, and rethink this.
