    800  if a president commits a crime, this branch has the power to impeach him  (house of representatives)

     

    1000  this branch of gov’t has, by precedent, the power to determine the constitutionality of a law  (judicial)

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    To ratify, or not to ratify?

     

    200  this political faction favored ratification of the constitution  (federalists)

     

    400  promise of this swayed many to support the constitution  (bill of rights)

     

    600  The new yoik ratification convention was stalled for this purpose
