None of the excerpts directly explain how separation of powers relates to the legislative branch. The separation of powers is established through the doctrine of checks and balances, in which each branch of government has separate powers and responsibilities that act as a check on the other branches. The specific ways in which the separation of powers is related to the legislative branch are not explicitly stated in these excerpts.
The 4th excerpt, "No Person shall be a Representative who shall not have attained to the Age of twenty five Years, and been seven Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an inhabitant of the State in which he shall be chosen," does not explain how separation of powers relate to the legislative branch.
As mentioned earlier, none of the given excerpts directly explain the relationship between separation of powers and the legislative branch. The principle of separation of powers is a broader concept that outlines the division of powers among the three branches of government (legislative, executive, and judicial) to prevent a concentration of powers in one branch. It is not explicitly addressed in any of the provided excerpts.
