The correct answer is A) Montesquieu’s idea of separation of powers.

The Enlightenment ideas that are supported by Bolívar in this passage are "Montesquieu’s idea of separation of powers."

The text that is part of a message delivered by Venezuela leader Simon Bolívar to the Angostura Congress in 1819. The message referred to the idea that "the British Executive power all the authority concerning a sovereign, but he is surrounded by a triple line of dams, barriers, and stockades...not even decrees of royal authority can exempt them from this responsibility." In the message, Bolivar still reminder the functions of the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial. ideas that were taken from Enlightenment philosopher Montesquieu.
