The correct
answer here is B.
It was the Montesquieu and his ideas that were a great influence
of the Founding Fathers of the United States of America. Montesquieu proposed
that government be divided into several branches, with each branch having some form
of control and authority over the other. This system is effective as it stops
one branch of the government from getting too strong. This is what is known as the
system of checks and balances.
