Answer:
C. It divided power among three branches of government.
Explanation:
The statement that correctly describes the United States Constitution when it became the law of the land in 1789 is "It divided power among three branches of government."
This is because the US Constitution has six different principles of democracy, which include the principle of checks and balances that gives power to all the three branches of government in the United States. These branches of government include:
1. Executive government: they execute the laws
2. Legislative government: they made the laws
3. Judiciary government: they interpret the laws.
