When the framers our state's constitution began to create it, they looked to the U.S. Constitution as a model. Much like the national government, they created a state government in which each branch could keep the others from having too much power. For example, the State Supreme Court can- once a law has been passed and enforced- rule that the law violates the state constitution. If this happens, the law is no longer enforced.

Answer: C

Explanation: The principle of government being described here is Checks and Balances. Remember that "Separation of Powers" refers to each branch having specific duties of governance. In the passage, however, the judicial branch is striking down a law that violates the Constitution. This "check and balance" is a protection for citizens, and prevents one branch from abusing their constitutional powers.

hope this helps!
