Show an example of checks and balances in the US Government?
The President of the US may request legislation. If they wish, Congress writes the legislation, discusses the proposed legislation and finally votes for, or against, the legislation. If the Congress disagrees with the President's request they don't do anything, end of subject. That is a check. If they write it, discuss it and approve it, then it is sent to the President for his approval. He can approve the legislation (balance) or veto the legislation (check). Congress can initiate legislation without the request of the President. If after congress passes the legislation the President approves the legislation that's a balance (both Congress and the President agree). However, if the President vetoes the legislation it is returned to the Congress. If 2/3 of the Senators in the Senate vote affirmative on the legislation they can over ride the Presidential veto (check). Now suppose legislation is passed by Congress and signed into law by the President AND SOMEBODY DISAGREES WITH THE NEW LAW. Then that person/group can challenge that law on a constitutional basis in Federal Court. At any point in the legal challenge a Federal Court may over turn the law. There are three different types of Federal Courts. Ranked by authority, from low to high, they are District Courts, Courts of Appeal, and finally the Supreme Court of the US. Each step up the ladder of courts is another check on the court below. The review of the legislation can stop at any point that the challenger decides to quit and that ends the review. If the legislation is overturned by the Federal Court system then the legislative branch has three choices: they can do nothing and the issue dies; they can attempt to rewrite the legislation in a manner that avoids the conflict with the Constitution; ultimately, they can attempt to amend the Constitution so that the Courts can have no objection. In the case of any action taken by one of the branches of government there is a way to stop, or review, the action by another branch of government. I'm sure I've missed some possibilities, but that should give you and idea of how checks and balances work in the US government.

The black service members having gained some respect and recognition in the war, their families finally saw some public sentiment against racial segregation. Segregation was ended for armed forces officers in 1942 and for the entire armed forces in 1948. This led to some of the first significant federal action on civil rights since Reconstruction.

Why was Cape Kennedy changed back to Cape Canaveral?
The original name given to the point of land was Cape Canaveral. However, after the assassination of JFK the federal government changed the entire geographic point to Cape Kennedy in 1963. There was major consternation over this action because of the historical significance of the name Cape Canaveral. Finally, in a compromise in 1973, the name of Cape Canaveral was given back to the land while "Kennedy Space Center" remained as the NASA facility at which the space program was developed.
