Hi! I hope this answer helps you.

Answers:

The Congress is divided into a Bicameral legislature with one side being the Senate, and the other the house.

Separation of Powers- defined as dividing the government into separate branches, so that one part does not control too much. This term is the explanation for the division of the legislative, executive and judicial branches.

Checks and Balances- due to the division of powers, each branch of the government is able to "observe" and "check" the others. This way, each branch holds equal power and does not become too powerful. An example of a check and balance would be the Presidential (executive) ability to veto any bill that Congress (legislative) passes.

Limited Government- where laws limit the power of the government in order to avoid abuse. Democracy, the type of government in the USA, is an example. It is a type of government where power is distributed rather than lying in the hands of one/a few persons.

Federalism- A system of government with one strong, central authority. A centrally controlled government.

I hope this helps- please mark brainliest if possible !!
