Which proposal could NOT even be considered as an amendment because of the entrenched clauses (cláusulas pétreas) of Article 60, §4?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. A proposal that abolishes the separation of the Powers

Step 2. Only the first proposal attacks one of those items. Answer: A proposal that abolishes the separation of the Powers. Why not the others: the term of the President, the creation of municipalities and the court organisation are ordinary matters open to amendment.
