Задача
- Which institution represents the judicial branch of government?
- How does the system of checks and balances work? Use the scheme on p. 45. (understanding a scheme)
How does the President deal with Congress and the Supreme Court? In what way does the Supreme Court check the other branches of power? How does Congress balance the powers of the other two branches? - Can any bill suggested by the President become law? Why?
- Why do we say that the US judicial branch is more powerful than in some other countries?
- Americans say, “The President proposes (предполагает), but Congress disposes.” Why do they think so? Find the reasons in the information below and in the scheme on p. 45.
The three main branches of government are separate from one another. The powers given to each are balanced by the other two. Each branch is a check on the others. The system of checks and balances protects against extremes (крайности). The system keeps any branch from getting too much power or using its powers wrongly. For example, new presidents cannot change the government policies as they wish. According to the US Constitution Congress and the Supreme Court control the president’s power. The system of checks and balances makes compromise necessary.
- Does the system of checks and balances add anything to the idea of democracy? Why?
- What is considered to be the fourth branch of power? Why?
- Many people outside the USA think that the US President is very powerful. Do you agree with them?
Подробный ответ
- The judicial branch is represented by the Supreme Court.
- The system of checks and balances means that each branch of government controls the other two. The President can veto bills passed by Congress, the Supreme Court can declare laws unconstitutional, and Congress can override a presidential veto and approve judges and other officials.
- No, not any bill suggested by the President can become law, because Congress must discuss and approve it, and the President’s power is checked by Congress and the Supreme Court.
- We say so because the judicial branch, especially the Supreme Court, can check the other branches of power and make sure they do not act against the Constitution.
- They think so because the President can only propose laws, while Congress decides whether they become law. The President’s power is limited by Congress and the Supreme Court.
- Yes, it does. It helps democracy because it prevents one branch from getting too much power and protects people from abuse of power.
- The mass media is often considered the fourth branch of power, because it influences public opinion and can control and criticize the actions of the government.
- No, I do not fully agree. The President is powerful, but his power is limited by Congress and the Supreme Court, so he cannot do everything he wants.
