Correct answer: D.

Florida’s Constitution provides for a separation of powers by dividing state government into three branches — legislative, executive, and judicial — each with distinct functions and checks on the others.

(Why the others are wrong: A is incorrect—legislation is primarily the Legislature’s role; B is incorrect—not all positions are filled by election; C is incorrect—state laws do not require federal approval, though federal law can preempt conflicting state law.)
