Answer 2

Answer:

B. The process for creating law involves congress and the president.

Explanation:

In the separation of power, the power is divided between groups instead of keeping it centralized with one person or body. In the US, the government is divided into three branches legislative, executive and judicial. The separation is useful for providing the check and balance, one branch of government checks the power of other branches and prevents the abuse of power and the powers of all the branches are mentioned in the government. None of the branches is more powerful than the others
