Choose the statement from the following choices that best describes the separation of powers. A. Powers and duties of the United
Delvig [45]

Answer:

The correct answer would be option A, Powers and duties of the United States Government are divided among the three branches of government.

Explanation:

Separation of powers means that the duties of government are divided among different parts of the Government. The purpose of this system is to make sure that power is not held by the central government only and is properly distributed among all the branches to serve all aspects of the society.

In the US system, there are three branches of federal government between which the power exists. The Executive Branch is the president and their staff including the Cabinet. The Legislative Branch is the two houses of Congress: the House of Representatives and the Senate. The third branch is the Court with the Supreme Court at the head and district level courts throughout the country.

Each branch has separate roles and each branch can check the power of other one.

how do these laws help you understand what life was like in louisana and other southern states after the civil war
victus00 [196]
Louisiana, like most southern states, seems really angry about losing the civil War. The war was mainly fought over the right to own slaves. Once they were free, owners didn't know what to do with their lives anymore. These laws were made so that they could keep Free African Americans oppressed  while still following the laws of the federal government. The hate for people of color actually increased after the war since they could no longer fully own them as property. The laws actually acted  like a sign to free slaves saying "You will never be free".
