Your answer:

Separation of Powers
Checks and Balances
Popular Sovereignty

Respuesta :

The correct answer is B. Separation of Powers

Explanation:

The term "Separation of powers" is used in politics to describe the fact that in most government power is divided between three different branches, these are the judicial, the executive, and the legislative. Each of these branches has a specific function in the government, for example, the judicial branch interprets the laws while the legislative creates it. Additionally, this division of power guarantees political power is distributed rather than held by only one entity and branches can check the actions that occur in the other branches, which is known as "Checks and balances". Thus, the concept that describes government functions are divided into three entities is "Separation of powers".
