Hello. This question is incomplete. The complete question is:

Read this excerpt from the US Constitution. Which portion of the text is an example of separation of powers?

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Article. I.

Section. 1.

All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.

…

Amendment I

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Answer:

Article I Section 1. All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.

Explanation:

In article I, section I, we can see a representation of the idea of separation of powers. This is because this part of the text presented above shows how the government is separated into several different branches that complement and work together, despite having completely different responsibilities. In this section, we can see that Congress has a responsibility to legislate, the Supreme Court has a responsibility to interpret and judge these laws, while the president has a responsibility to enforce those laws and ensure that they are obeyed.
