Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Separation of powers refers to the division of powers and functions of government into separate branches. This is a fundamental concept in the United States Constitution and is also present in many state constitutions, including Texas. Therefore, A is incorrect. A bicameral legislature, or two chambers of legislature, is a separate concept from separation of powers, so B is also incorrect. Furthermore, separation of powers has not been rejected by American constitutional theory, so D is incorrect.
