The correct answer is 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.
The idea of separation of powers refers to a government in which there are several different branches that each have unique responsibilities. The aforementioned part of the Constitution is a perfect example of this, as it states that Congress has the ability to make laws in the US. Congress is given the ability to make laws, whereas the Supreme Court is given the power to interpret the constitution and whether or not laws are constitutonal, and the President is given the power to enforce the laws. This shows that each branch has a specific job in our government.
One of the most significant social impacts of the Great awakening in eighteenth century colonial America was that people began to challenge the established authority--especially regarding social issues like slavery, as they tried to undue some of the moral wrongs that were being perpetrated. <span><span>
