<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.

8. How did the Amnesty Act of 1872 hurt Reconstruction?
Sauron [17]

Answer:

The Amnesty Act of 1872 had the greatest impact, effect, and result on the vast majority of previous white Confederates who hailed from the South, who were granted the provisions and privileges of holding office, the right to vote, the freedom to own land, and, most importantly, the ability to promulgate and author essential laws in the Southern States, which became feasible, achievable, and doable in mammoth proportions.

Explanation:

The great majority of former white Confederates in the South were free to own land, vote, hold office, and enact laws in the Southern states less than two decades after the war ended, thanks to the 1872 Amnesty and others that came before it.
