Question

Part 1. What article/section of the Constitution is your example of Checks and Balances located?

Part 2. What is the direct quote from the Constitution that shows this principle? (you can copy and paste the quote)

Part 3. Explain in complete sentences how the quote you selected relates to or shows this principle

Answer 1

Alright let me look through this.

Answer 2

The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators.

This looks like something but I don't think this is the answer just yet, i'm looking for something that say's how each of the branches looks after each other. This is just the closest thing i've found regarding anything like it.

Answer 3

So if we look at Article 1 section 7 of the constitution you find something like an example of checks and balances through the creation of laws and how they have to pass through each house.

Every Bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, shall, before it become a Law, be presented to the President of the United States: If he approve he shall sign it, but if not he shall return it
(in this section specifically is where I found this information.)


Every Bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, shall, before it become a Law, be presented to the President of the United States: If he approve he shall sign it, but if not he shall return it, with his Objections to that House in which it shall have originated, who shall enter the Objections at large on their Journal, and proceed to reconsider it. If after such Reconsideration two thirds of that House shall agree to pass the Bill, it shall be sent, together with the Objections, to the other House, by which it shall likewise be reconsidered, and if approved by two thirds of that House, it shall become a Law. But in all such Cases the Votes of both Houses shall be determined by Yeas and Nays, and the Names of the Persons voting for and against the Bill shall be entered on the Journal of each House respectively. If any Bill shall not be returned by the President within ten Days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented to him, the Same shall be a Law, in like Manner as if he had signed it, unless the Congress by their Adjournment prevent its Return, in which Case it shall not be a Law.

Answer 4

So basically how this relates to checks and balances, with checks and balances, it's a separation and combination of powers blended together so that each government branch serves as a check and a balance for one another.
