seperation of powers are effective

Cards (3)

  • Ensures Laws Are Debated and Vetted
    • The legislative process requires multiple steps before a law is passed, preventing rash decisions.
    • Example: Affordable Care Act (2010) – The law underwent rigorous congressional debate before passage, showing how legislative scrutiny ensures policies are well-examined.
  • Congress Can Hold the President Accountable
    Example: Congressional Oversight on Foreign Policy – Congress can restrict military action, as seen in the War Powers Act (1973), which requires presidents to seek approval for prolonged military engagements.
  • Prevents Authoritarian Rule
    • By dividing power, the government avoids concentrating too much control in one person or group.
    • Example: Trump’s Travel Ban (2017) – Courts blocked early versions of the travel ban on constitutional grounds, showing how judicial oversight limits executive overreach.
