Question

If people believe that separation of powers is important, which of the following would not be a government they support?

Select one:
a. a government where responsibility is divided between groups of people
b. a government where a single ruler, like a king, makes all the decisions
c. a government with legislative, executive, and judicial branches
d. a government where no one group of people has all the control

Answer 1

b. a government where a single ruler, like a king, makes all the decisions because the separation of powers was made so not just one person or group would have all the power

Answer 2

The correct answer is B) a government where a single ruler, like a king, makes all the decisions.

If people believe that separation of powers is important, the option that would not be a government they support is "a government where a single ruler, like a king, makes all the decisions."

This is so because they support a democratic government with clear separation of powers like the checks and balance system of the United States, where the Executive branch, the legislative branch, and the judicial branch can't overuse their powers. They are not willing to support a king or dictator such as Adolph Hitler, Benito Mussolini, or Joseph Stalin.
