The correct answer is d. separation of powers. The ideas of the separation of powers, which were advocated by Enlightenment thinker Baron de Montesquieu, were a major factor in causing the American Revolution. This concept influenced the framers of the American Constitution and led to the creation of a system of government with three branches - legislative, executive, and judicial - to prevent the concentration of power in any one branch.
