Question

segregation can best be described as:
a making laws without constitutional limitations
b dividing the government into three branches
c refusing to allow the democratic process to occur
d dividing different groups in society and having different laws for each group

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Making laws without Constitutional limitations refers to something like ultra - vires law - making, not segregation.
• Option B: Dividing the government into three branches is the separation of powers (executive, legislative, judicial), not segregation.
• Option C: Refusing to allow the democratic process to occur is about suppressing democracy, not segregation.
• Option D: Segregation involves separating different social groups (like racial, ethnic groups) and often imposing different rules or laws on them, which matches the description in option D.

Answer:

D. Dividing different groups in society and having different laws for each group
