Answer 1

The Roman Constitution called for the government to be made up of the senate, the legislative assemblies, and the executive magistrates. This is an example of the separation of powers.

Answer 2

C is the correct answer since this is an example of separation of powers.

It was a transition from the monarchy to republic when the division of powers took place. The SENATE of the Roman Empire developed from the one of the Roman Kingdom, and it was in charge of appointing and removing senators. The LEGISLATIVE assemblies had the law-making role. The EXECUTIVE magistrates had the role of passing the laws, as well as their obstruction or veto.
