Powers shared or exercised by national and state governments are known as concurrent powers.

29. the principle that requires all U.S. citizens, including government leaders, to obey the law

Article 1, Section 9, of the Constitution lists the powers denied to the Congress. Article 1, Section 10, forbids the states to take certain actions. The 10 th Amendment reserves for the states and people all powers not given to the national government nor denied to the state governments.

A republic is a form of government in which the supreme power rests in the body of citizens entitled to vote and is exercised by representatives chosen directly or indirectly by them. In a republic, people elect others to represent them in the government.

38. the ability of each branch of government to exercise checks, or controls, over the other branches

39. Based on the philosophy of Baron de Montesquieu, an 18th-century French thinker, "Power should be a check to power.“ Each branch of government can exercise checks, or controls, over the other branches. Though the branches of government are separate, they rely on one another to perform the work of government. This ensures that the branches work together fairly.
