Can anyone please help me?

Answer 7

B is incorrect since the Supreme Court is the judicial branch, not the legislative branch. In this case, I don't believe the "Supreme Court" refers to the state levels, so I would exclude C. Lastly, the power of the Supreme Court to interpret laws does not prevent the president (head of the executive branch) from passing laws given to him by Congress.

However, they can deem actions done by the President as unconstitutional. Also, they can tell Congress that a law that they passed violates the U.S. Constitution and declare that it is no longer a law.

Answer 8

So... A?

Answer 9

By extension of being able to deem actions done by the President as unconstitutional, they can prevent the President from passing unconstitutional laws.
