B. the Articles of Confederation.
C. the Three-Fifths Compromise.
D. the armed forces.
Answer: A. Congress and the Supreme Court.
The US Constitution limits the power of the executive branch through Congress and the Supreme Court.
The Constitution of the United States used the principle known as "Separation of Powers" to provide a check and balance between coequal branches of government. The Executive Branch (President), the Legislative Branch (Congress), and the Judicial Branch (the courts, headed by the Supreme Court) are the three branches of government.
The "Separation of Powers" principle was an idea embedded into the plans for American government by our founding fathers, based on their reading of Enlightenment political theory. The terminology "separation of powers" was introduced by Charles-Louis de Secondat, the Baron of Montesquieu. (Usually he's referred to as just "Montesquieu.") He wrote an important work of political theory called The Spirit of the Laws, published in 1748. Within his treatment of how governments will function best, Montesquieu argued that executive, legislative, and judicial functions of government ought to be divided between parts of the government, so that no one person or division of the government can infringe on the overall rights of others in the government or of the members of the society overall.
B) Coercive or Intolerable Acts.
C) The Tea Act.
D) Espionage and Sedition Acts.
Answer:
The correct answer is B) Coercive or Intolerable Acts.
Explanation:
The Boston Tea Party refers to an event that took place on December 16, 1773. Members of a revolutionary group known as the Sons of Liberty boarded the British tea ships anchored at the Boston Harbor, and dumped their contents into the harbor. This was done to protest of the import of British tea into its American colonies, for which the colonies had to pay additional taxes. Colonists considered this act an abuse of power, as under the motto of "no taxation without representation", the British crown had no right to impose any new taxes unless it meant devolving some political power to the colonies. The British reacted to the Boston Tea Party by passing the Intolerable Acts (known as Coercive Acts in Britain) in 1774 to punish the colonists. These laws, among other things, put the colony of Massachusetts under direct British control, curtailed town meetings, allowed soldiers to be lodged in people's houses, and closed the port of Boston until the damage caused by the Tea Party was compensated. The Intolerable Acts were met with outrage not only by the people from Massachusetts, but by all the Thirteen Colonies, and this would become one of the causes that would eventually trigger the American Revolution a couple of years later.

B. Hobbes believed that people were naturally evil, while Locke did not.
C. Hobbes followed the principles of liberalism, while Locke did not.
D. Locke supported the theory of a social contract, while Hobbes did not.
Answer: B. Hobbes believed that people were naturally evil, while Locke did not.
Further explanation:
Both English philosophers believed there is a "social contract" -- that governments are formed by the will of the people. But their theories on why people want to live under governments were very different.
Thomas Hobbes published his political theory in Leviathan in 1651, following the chaos and destruction of the English Civil War. He saw human beings as naturally suspicious of one another, in competition with each other, and acted with evil and violence toward one another as a result. Forming a government meant giving up personal liberty, but gaining security against what would otherwise be a situation of every person at war with every other person.
John Locke published his Two Treatises on Civil Government in 1690, following the mostly peaceful transition of government power that was the Glorious Revolution in England. Locke believed people are born as blank slates--with no preexisting knowledge or moral leanings. Experience then guides them to the knowledge and the best form of life, and they choose to form governments to make life and society better.
In teaching the difference between Hobbes and Locke, I've often put it this way. If society were playground basketball, Hobbes believed you must have a referee who sets and enforces rules, or else the players will eventually get into heated arguments and bloody fights with one another, because people get nasty in competition that way. Locke believed you could have an enjoyable game of playground basketball without a referee, but a referee makes the game better because then any disputes that come up between players have a fair way of being resolved. Of course, Hobbes and Locke never actually wrote about basketball -- a game not invented until 1891 in America by James Naismith. But it's just an illustration I've used to try to show the difference of ideas between Hobbes and Locke. :-)
The void left by the fall of the Western Roman Empire was filled by the emergence of Germanic successor kingdoms and the influence of the Christian church, leading to the rise of medieval culture.
After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, the void left by the disintegration of the Roman political structure was filled by the emergence of successor kingdoms, which were predominately Germanic. These successor kingdoms, such as the Ostrogoths and Visigoths, created a new society by blending cultural traditions with the conquered Roman populations, a process called acculturation. To reduce differences, there was a conversion to Christianity, and the influence of the Christian church became more pronounced.
The church worked with kings to secure military assistance and convert various groups. Its goal was to ensure that its vision of Christian beliefs and practices eclipsed other sects. Essentially, the merging of the military culture with the religious one laid the groundwork for medieval culture.
Throughout this period, Europe experienced significant military and political discord due to the absence of a centralized power or cultural hub. Inhabitants often sought the protection of powerful lords and their knight armies from invaders. This time, which roughly spans from the fifth to the fourteenth century, is now referred to as the Middle Ages.
