Congress must share power with individual state government

The principle of separation of powers is a fundamental concept in the U.S. government that divides the power among three branches: the legislative, the executive, and the judiciary. The separation of powers is designed to prevent any one branch from becoming too powerful and abusing its authority.

The principle of separation of powers limits Congress in several ways. The correct option among the choices is:

a. Congress cannot enforce the laws that they make.

The legislative branch, which is composed of Congress, has the power to make laws. However, the Constitution also grants the executive branch, headed by the President, the power to enforce the laws. This means that Congress cannot enforce the laws that they make. Instead, they must rely on the executive branch to enforce them.

Additionally, the judiciary branch has the power to interpret the laws made by Congress. This means that Congress must create clear and concise legislation that can be interpreted by the courts.

Congress is not required to interpret legislation for the courts, and they do not need to rely on the executive branch to introduce legislation. Congress shares power with individual state governors in some areas, but this is not directly related to the principle of separation of powers.
