Question

1. montesquieu’s idea of separation of powers influenced which document?

○ a. the mayflower compact

○ b. the federalist papers

○ c. the magna carta

○ d. the u.s. constitution

Explanation:

Montesquieu's separation of powers (dividing government into legislative, executive, judicial branches) influenced the U.S. Constitution, which established this structure. The Mayflower Compact was a colonial agreement, the Federalist Papers were essays supporting the Constitution, and the Magna Carta was an English charter limiting monarchy (not about separation of powers as Montesquieu envisioned).

Answer:

d. The U.S. Constitution
