In what ways did they limit the power of the president to avoid absolute power?

Hello liz4841!

The president's power is limited by a system of checks and balances written into the United States Constitution. The legislative and judicial branches have specific power to deny or impede the executive branch's actions. The system of checks and balances was added to the Constitution so that no one branch of government would grow too powerful.

i think it is in quadrant 4.

the five year plans were part of a command economy. there was little choice in what would be emphasized for the current 5 year period.

the answer to democracy or totalitarianism is a bit harder. in stalin's time, russia was totalitarian. now that's not entirely true. putin has moved towards at least the boundary.
