He would probably be proud of the fact that he is the country's first African American president and all the things he's done to help the country
Gun powder was meant to be like a potion for unlimited life, but ended up being a potion for death and is still used today.
A is incorrect because Lincoln ran for the republican party.
D is incorrect because the Democratic party was pro-slavery.
So that leaves us with B and C.
I don't know who John C. Breckinridge is, but I do know that Lincoln was the least popular candidate running for president. The only reason Lincoln won the election was because the democratic party split their votes between two candidates, so neither democratic candidate got enough votes to win the election.
So the answer is B.

Explanation:
John F. Kennedy had this type of relationship with:
- Richard Nixon. Senator JFK (Democrat) and vice president Nixon were rival candidates for the presidency in 1960. JFK won. Nixon would run again in 1968 and win.
- Martin Luther King Jr. JFK was a supporter of civil rights and in this regard, he had a coincidence with MLK´s philosophy and goals. Dr. King supported Kennedy in his 1960 campaign. JFK´s brother Robert made calls to release Dr. King after his arrest during protests.
- Senator Joe McCarthy - Joseph Kennedy, president JFK´s father, was a friend of the famous senator Joseph McCarthy (both were of Irish famlies and shared similar anti-communist views). JFK and his brother Bob were also friends with McCarthy
- Fidel Castro. In 1961, with Kennedy´s approval, the CIA sent an invasion force made of Cuban exiles to get Castro out of power. It failed. The Cuban revolutionary leader gave revolution a radical turn, became an ally of the Soviet Union and an open US enemy. He allowed the USSR to install nuclear missiles in Cuba, but Kennedy got the missiles withdrawn from the island in 1962 following the October 1962 crisis.
- Nikita Khrushchev was the Soviet top leader that was involved in the October Missile Crisis in 1962 in Cuba. He faced the US warning, threat and naval blockade, but in the end he decided to de-escalate and withdrew the nuclear missiles from Cuba.
- Ngo Dinh Diem. He was a South Vietnamese president and had the support of the United States. He was Washington´s man in Vietnam for some years, until he was killed in a military coup that led to another government.
Answer:
The term "trias politica" or "separation of powers" was coined by Charles-Louis de Secondat, baron de La Brède et de Montesquieu, an 18th century French social and political philosopher. His publication, Spirit of the Laws, is considered one of the great works in the history of political theory and jurisprudence, and it inspired the Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Constitution of the United States. Under his model, the political authority of the state is divided into legislative, executive and judicial powers. He asserted that, to most effectively promote liberty, these three powers must be separate and acting independently.
Separation of powers, therefore, refers to the division of government responsibilities into distinct branches to limit any one branch from exercising the core functions of another. The intent is to prevent the concentration of power and provide for checks and balances
The traditional characterizations of the powers of the branches of American government are:
- The legislative branch is responsible for enacting the laws of the state and appropriating the money necessary to operate the government.
- The executive branch is responsible for implementing and administering the public policy enacted and funded by the legislative branch.
- The judicial branch is responsible for interpreting the constitution and laws and applying their interpretations to controversies brought before it.
I'm not sure if this can help, and if not, ask me and I can fix it!
