In a presidential republic, the power of the president is kept in balance by power given to a. a legislative body b. a hereditary leader c. absolute monarchs d. religious leaders

The correct answer is A. In a presidential republic, the power of the president is kept in balance by power given to a legislative body.

Explanation:

Presidentialism is a form of government in which, once a Republic is constituted, the Constitution establishes a division of powers between the Executive branch, the Legislative branch, the Judicial branch, and in which the Head of State, in addition of holding the formal representation of the country, is also an active part of the executive branch, as Head of Government, thus exercising a double function, and being elected directly by the voters and not by the Congress or Parliament.

The president is the organ that holds the executive power, while the legislative power is usually concentrated by the Congress, without prejudice to the powers that the president possesses in legislative matters.

athenian democracy developed around the fifth century bc in the greek city-state (known as a polis) of athens, comprising the city of athens and the surrounding territory of attica, and is often described as the first known democracy in the world. other greek cities set up democracies, most following the athenian model, but none are as well documented as athens'.

it was a political system of direct democracy, in which participating citizens voted directly on legislation and executive bills. participation was not open to all residents: to vote one had to be an adult, male citizen, i.e., not a foreign resident, a submissive or a woman, and the number of these was "probably no more than 30 percent of the total adult population."[1]

the longest-lasting democratic leader was pericles. after his death, athenian democracy was twice briefly interrupted by oligarchic revolutions towards the end of the peloponnesian war. it was modified somewhat after it was restored under eucleides; the most detailed accounts of the system are of this fourth-century modification rather than the periclean system. democracy was suppressed by the macedonians in 322 bc. the athenian institutions were later revived, but how close they were to a real democracy is debatable. solon (594 bc), cleisthenes (508/7 bc), and ephialtes (462 bc) contributed to the development of athenian democracy. cleisthenes broke up the power of the nobility by organizing citizens into ten groups based on where they lived rather than on their wealth.
