Answer: To provide checks and balances of power in the government, to prevent any one branch of government from taking over too much power.

Context/detail:

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.

lilavasa [31]

All of the following contributed to the failure of the Sepoy Mutiny except the numerical superiority of the British troops.

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation:</u>

The Sepoy Mutiny was a rebellious movement that was stirred when the British touched the culture of Muslims and Hindus. It all started when the Sepoy where asked to load 303 rifle manually by biting the cartridge at the end.  

The cartridge was greased with beef tallow and pig fat which caused a revolt because it was forbidden to touch pig fat for the Muslims and beef tallow was untouchable by the Hindus.

When India was under the British rule the British had enormous troops with well supplied war necessities. Hence the Indians were tormented.When people refused to load the gun 85 of them were imprisoned.They broke out the prison and killed all the Europeans they met in sight.
