Answer:  a. separation of powers

Further detail/explanation:

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.

What was the major provision of the southeast asia resolution?
Alina [70]
<span>On August 2, North Vietnamese torpedo boats attacked an American destroyer in the Gulf of Tonkin. Johnson responded by sending in another destroyer. On August 4, the two destroyers reported that they were under attack. This time, Johnson authorized retaliatory air attacks against North Vietnam. He also asked Congress to pass the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution. This resolution declared, “The United States regards as vital to its national interest and to world peace the maintenance of international peace and security in Southeast Asia.” It also gave Johnson the right to “take all necessary measures to repel any armed attack against the forces of the United States and to prevent further aggression.” The House passed the resolution by a unanimous vote; the vote in the Senate was 88 to 2. Johnson’s popularity soared in response to his “restrained” handling of the crisis.</span>

Mila [183]
Antarctica, as we know it today, is located at the south pole. However, it was not always there or so cold! Around 500 million years ago, during the Cambrian period, Antarctica was actually closer during Earth's equator! Due to continental drift, Antarctica was attached to Australia and shifted more to the south during the time of the dinosaurs. The first fossils found were of marine reptiles called plesiosaurs. They were found on Seymour Island in 1982. The first dinosaur fossil found was of an ankylosaur. It was found on James Ross Island in 1986.
