Question

how does the organization of the us government reflect the ideas of enlightenment philosopher baron de montesquieu?
○ all us citizens possess certain natural rights.
○ religion is completely separate from government.
○ the government is divided into three branches.
○ citizens of the united states have the right to vote.

Explanation:

Baron de Montesquieu's key Enlightenment idea was the separation of governmental powers into distinct branches (legislative, executive, judicial) to prevent tyranny. This concept is directly embodied in the structure of the US government. The other options relate to other Enlightenment thinkers (natural rights to Locke, religious separation to Enlightenment secularism broadly, voting rights to democratic ideals not specific to Montesquieu).

Answer:

C. The government is divided into three branches.
