Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Founding Fathers outlined in the Constitution a system of checks and balances between the three branches of government (legislative, executive, and judicial), but they did intend for Congress to hold the most power. This is evident in the fact that the Constitution grants Congress the power to make laws, levy taxes, declare war, and oversee many aspects of the government's operations. Additionally, the Founding Fathers placed limits on the powers of the executive and judicial branches, while giving Congress the ability to impeach officials and override vetoes.
