question 10 of 28
the u.s. government has three branches: executive, judicial, and legislative.
each branch plays a different role in making sure laws are passed, enforced,
and applied fairly in accordance with the united states constitution. which
idea does this scenario best represent?

a. social contract
b. popular sovereignty
c. separation of powers
d. human rights

Explanation:

The U.S. government's three branches (executive, judicial, legislative) each having distinct roles in law - making, enforcement, and application aligns with the concept of separation of powers, where power is divided among different branches to prevent abuse. Social contract is about the agreement between a government and its people, popular sovereignty emphasizes people's power in governance, and human rights are about individual rights, none of which match this scenario as well as separation of powers.

Answer:

C. Separation of powers
