What limited the executive power of the consuls?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The division of power between two consuls ensured that no one person could become too powerful or abuse their authority. Term limits (A) did limit the power of the consuls, but this was not the primary factor in limiting their power. Preventing them from military service (C) was not a limitation, as consuls were expected to lead the military. Making them voting members of the assembly (D) was not a limitation on their executive power. Taking them solely from the lower classes (E) was also not a limitation on their power, as both patricians and plebeians could become consuls.
