The Constitution

Question 12 • 8th Grade US History & Geography A

How does separation of powers keep government from becoming too powerful?

Answer
A
It separates the federal government from the state governments.
B
It takes the power of the federal government and divides it among the three branches.
C
It places the power of the government in the hands of the people.

Explanation

Separation of powers divides the federal government’s authority among the legislative, executive, and judicial branches. Because no single branch controls all government power, each branch can limit the others. This matches choice B, which says power is divided among the three branches.
