Question

Some scholars have suggested that a consequence of separation of powers and checks and balances has been select one:

a. Political instability.
b. Streamlined, but hasty, government decision making.
c. The inability of groups to get their grievances heard.
d. Fragmented policymaking processes.
e. The tyranny of the majority.

Answer 1

I believe the answer is: fragmented policymaking processes.

Separation of powers allows each branches of the government to intervene with the work of other branches. While this system is efficient in preventing the government from transorming into a tyranny, it does make it much more complicated for a certain policy to be passed.
