Article II of the Constitution provides that federal judges are appointed by the President, with the "advice and consent" of the Senate. Presidents generally appoint federal judges who share their political beliefs and philosophy. Because federal judges are appointed for life, the power of appointment gives a President some influence over the direction of the court system even after his term of office ends.

(Foundations LO 1 LC)

Which of the following describes the Enlightenment idea of separation of powers?

The idea that people consent to government authority and in return the government protects their rights
The idea that people are born with rights that no government can take away
The idea of dividing government powers into legislative, executive, and judicial branches
The idea that there is a body of law said to come from nature that is common to all humans

Answer 36

oh wait i just realize some thing it is C

Answer 37

yes!! Separation of powers is a political doctrine originating in the writings of Montesquieu in The Spirit of the Laws where he urged for a constitutional government with three separate branches of government. Each of the three branches would have defined abilities to check the powers of the other branches. This idea was called separation of powers. This philosophy heavily influenced the writing of the United States Constitution, according to which the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial branches of the United States government are kept distinct in order to prevent abuse of power. This United States form of separation of powers is associated with a system of checks and balances
