Choose the statement from the following choices that best describes the separation of powers. o a. powers and duties of the united states government are divided among three branches of government o b. powers and duties of the united states government are divided among two branches of government c. powers and duties of the united states government are chosen entirely by the president of the united states d. powers and duties of the united states government are decided by a system of direct democracy

Your answer would be A).  Powers and duties of the United States government are divided among three branches of government

Definition:

Separation of Powers: A form of government which uses checks and balances that the powers are divided into three branches of a government.

Explanation:

The reason why this would be your answer is because the United States federal government has three different branches, being the executive, legislative, and judicial branches.

What are the different branches and what are their roles?:

Executive:

The Executive Branch is run by the president, and with thousands of other workers. The president pretty much watches over the executive branch. Their job is to make sure that the laws that are put into place and being obeyed

Legislative:

The Legislative Branch is the Senate and the House of Representatives. This branch is pretty much the branch that makes up Congress. The role that they have in the federal government is that they make the laws.

Judicial:

The Judicial Branch is the Supreme Court and lower courts of the United States. The role that they have in the federal government is that they look over laws to see if the law is following the constitution.

Answer choice A clearly states that the powers are divided among three branches in the U.S government, which they are because of the three branches. The U.S constitution uses the system of checks and balances so one branch doesn't have more power over another group. Each of the branches have their own powers, but the powers that they have in not powerful than the other branches powers. The three different branches have their own checks and balances between each other, which makes them fair too each other.

Why the other answer choices are incorrect:

Answer choice B). Powers and duties of the United States government are divided among two branches of government is INCORRECT because the powers are divided among three branches, not two.

Answer choice C). Powers and duties of the United States government are chosen entirely by the President of the United States is INCORRECT because the President DOES NOT have the power to decide which branch has the most power. The U.S constitution determines what powers does each branch have

Answer choice D). Powers and duties of the United States government are decided by a system of direct democracy is INCORRECT because the Powers and Duties are not decided by the system of Direct Democracy. Direct Democracy is  people decide on different policies directly, and people don't decide what powers should each branch have.
