Which of the following statements accurately describes the relationship between the principle of "separation of powers" and the Articles of Confederation?

a. Because the Articles of Confederation created a bicameral legislative branch that could make and enforce its laws, it clearly illustrates the principle of "separation of powers".
b. The Articles of Confederation created both a legislative branch and an executive branch, making this document a clear illustration of the principle of "separation of powers".
c. Because the Articles of Confederation created a central government that contained only a legislative branch, it does not reflect the principle of "separation of powers".
d. The Articles of Confederation created only a judicial branch that could interpret matters of law for the states, therefore it is a poor example of the principle of "separation of powers".
