Montesquieu believed that government power should be divided between different branches, much like the executive, legislative, and judicial branches in the united states. he believed that this division promoted liberty and justice. what else does the separation of powers do?
a) it prevents one branch from gaining too much power.
b)it stops each branch from dominating the others.
c)it makes sure that there is no overlap between the work of the branches.
d)it facilitates cooperation between the branches.

The correct answer is A) It prevents one branch from gaining too much power.

The creation of different branches in the government ensures that no one branch becomes tyrannical. This is evident in the US government.

In the federal government we have the judicial, legislative, and executive branches. The judicial branch can check the power of the legislative and executive branch by striking down laws that are unconstitutional. The executive branch can check the power of the legislative branch by vetoing any laws they pass. The legislative branch can check the power of the executive branch by overriding a veto by a 2/3 majority vote.

All of the aforementioned scenarios shows that there are several different obstacles preventing one group from gaining too much power.
