Answer: B) the senate must approve a treaty by a two-thirds vote,and its terms must be found to be constitutional by the supreme court.

The three powers of the federal government are executive (the president), legislative (representatives and Senate) and judicial (courts). One of the most important elements that guide the interactions between these powers is the system of checks and balances.

Checks and balances refers to the idea that each branch is restrained in its actions by the other two branches. This ensures that no branch ever becomes too powerful, and that bad judgement from one brach is counteracted by sound judgement from another one. In this example, the Senate is making a decision. However, this decision has to be found to be constitutional by the Supreme Court. In this way, the power of the legislative is kept in check by the judicial.
