The correct answer is Congress and the Supreme Court.

The US Constitution was developed with a system of checks and balances. In this case Congress (the legislative branch) and Supreme Court (judicial branch) have the ability to check the power of the president (executive branch). Congress can override a presidential veto and the Supreme Court can rule an executive order or an action taken by the president as unconstitutional. These types of safeguards ensure that the president is held to the same laws as all other American citizens.

 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.

the industrial development of cities in the ruhr area in the nineteenth century is described. the research was based on english and german language sources. several factors that shaped growth and paths of the cities were categorized and analyzed. they are locations, resources, traditions, entrepreneurs, and technological developments. locations and resources were the most important among them; other factors may be regarded as consequences from locations and resources. among the cities, bochum, essen, gelsenkirchen, and dortmund had the richest resources and most favorable locations in the transportation network and grew to be the largest cities in the ruhr area near the end of the nineteenth century. riverside location was also a favorable factor for the development, as shown in the development of duisburg on the confluence of rhine and ruhr. resource distribution can explain the rise of textile industry, metallurgical industry, and coal and iron industries, and the northward progression of the mining industry. tradition was an important factor for cities such as krefeld, barmen, elberfeld, solingen, and remscheid, which experienced development based on their traditions through the nineteenth century. various entrepreneurs exerted influences within and beyond the local level over the ruhr area. technological development stimulated the northward progression of the mining industry and the deep connection between the coal and the iron industries.
