Explanation:

The Reconstruction Era comprises of the years of struggle that America endured to get free from the British rule. It contains the time from 1863 to 1877 in American history, following the American Civil War.

The given quote is from the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution that was put into force or legally accepted as law in 1868. It provides rights for any person, giving equal protection under the law for anyone, regardless of race, religion, caste or creed, including former slaves.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.

europe would not recognize the confederacy as an independent nation.

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
