<u>Answer:</u>

<h3>A. Powers and duties of the United States government are divided among three branches of government. </h3>

<u>Explanation:</u>

The separation of powers prevents any one branch of government from taking over too much power.   Powers are separated between the executive, legislative, and judicial branches in government.

The separation of powers principle was an idea embedded into the plans for American government by our founding fathers, based on their reading of Enlightenment political theory.  The terminology "separation of powers" was introduced by Charles-Louis de Secondat, the Baron of Montesquieu.  (Usually he's referred to as just "Montesquieu.")  He wrote an important work of political theory called <em>The Spirit of the Laws</em>, published in 1748.

Within his treatment of how governments will function best, Montesquieu argued that executive, legislative, and judicial functions of government ought to be divided between parts of the government, so that no one person or division of the government can infringe on the overall rights of others in the government or of the members of the society overall.

Alexander hamilton believed the legal reasoning behind a national bank fit under what part of the us constitution?.
dem82 [27]

Hamilton thought that the Constitution's Article I Section 8, which grants the Congress the ability to enact laws that are appropriate and necessary for the government, gave Congress the authority to establish a national bank.

James Madison, a representative from Virginia, and Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson disagreed, arguing that the states owned any authority that the Constitution did not expressly provide to Congress. Nevertheless, the bank measure easily passed the House with a vote of 39 to 20, and on February 25, 1791, President George Washington signed it into law. Congress allowed the bank's charter to expire 20 years later. Representative James Madison of Virginia fought for the Constitution's Bill of Rights while he was serving in the House.
