The correct answer is A) The uprising led to increased nationalism and conflict, which weakened the government.

The Boxer Rebellion led to the decline of dynastic rule in China in that the uprising led to increased nationalism and conflict, which weakened the government.

The Boxing Uprising or the Boxer Rebellion in 1900 was the rebellion against the Western influence and Japanese influence in China. That influence spread into society trying to modify part of the tradition and culture of the nation. It was organized by a secret organization identified as the Society of the Righteous and Harmonious Fists. These people committed violent acts such as the killing of Christians, alien people, and destroyed many buildings, public, and private property. The Army had to intervene to end with the rebellion.  

separation of powers, therefore, refers to the division of government responsibilities into distinct branches to limit any one branch from exercising the core functions of another.   the intent is to prevent the concentration of power and provide for checks and balances.  

the traditional characterizations of the powers of the branches of american government are:

* the legislative branch is responsible for enacting the laws of the state and appropriating the money necessary to operate the government.

* the executive branch is responsible for implementing and administering the public policy enacted and funded by the legislative branch.

* the judicial branch is responsible for interpreting the constitution and laws and applying their interpretations to controversies brought before it.

forty state constitutions specify that government be divided into three branches:   legislative, executive and judicial.   california illustrates this approach; "the powers of state government are legislative, executive, and judicial.   persons charged with the exercise of one power may not exercise either of the others except as permitted by this constitution."

while separation of powers is key to the workings of american government, no democratic system exists with an absolute separation of powers or an absolute lack of separation of powers. governmental powers and responsibilities intentionally overlap; they are too complex and interrelated to be neatly compartmentalized. as a result, there is an inherent measure of competition and conflict
