Answer:
A
Explanation:
Montesquieu, in the eighteenth century, suggested a formation of powers (legislative, judiciary and executive) that were independent, that is, the powers would be independent and have their own powers, however, each power would be supervised by the other powers, with the aim of avoiding abuse and excesses in administration. This feature is called brakes and counterweights. In this case, the president was impeached because of the legislative role of the legislature, that is, the legislature played the role of preventing the executive's abuse.
