Question

If people believe that separation of powers is important, which of the following would not be a government they support?

a. a government where responsibility is divided between groups of people
b. a government where a single ruler, like a king, makes all the decisions
c. a government with legislative, executive, and judicial branches
d. a government where no one group of people has all the control

Answer 1

B.) a government where a single ruler, like a king, makes all the decisions

Answer 2

b. a government where a single ruler, like a king, makes all the decisions.

Step-by-step explanation:

The separation of powers within government, an idea the Montesquieu first came up with, is one way to prevent all power and decision-making capacities to depend on one single individual (like a king or a tyrant) or even a single group of people (like in an oligarchy). By the separation of powers into a judicial, an executive, and a legislative branch, a government can be secured against the will of one individual ruling over the entire population, thus securing a more democratic and egalitarian kind of government.
