The metaphorical powers of the purse, sword, and interpretation are distributed among the three branches of national government. Write an essay in which you (a) identify to which branch each of these metaphorical powers principally belongs; (b) explain the meaning of each power; (c) provide an example from each branch of a specific constitutional power that illustrates its metaphorical power; (d) and provide an example of how each branch can use its metaphorical power to limit the power of another branch.
