Was the importance of bataan and how did that impact the americans?

The Battle of Bataan was fought January 7 to April 9, 1942, during World War II.

It represented the most intensive phase of Japan's invasion of the Philippines. The Japanese bombing of the Philippines Archipelago started after the bombing of the American naval base at Pearl Harbor.

The Filipino and American forced managed to fight the Japanese for three months but they surrendered in the end. This surrender was the largest in American and Filipino military histories and it was the largest United States surrender since the American Civil War Battle of Harper's Ferry. This battle disrupted and slowed the Japanese invasion in the Pacific and prevented the invasion of Australia.

15,000 Americans were taken prisoners of war. They were forced into the Bataan Death March, which was a forcible transfer by the Imperial Japanese Army to a Camp O'Donnell. It was a 100-mile-walk characterized by several physical abuse and killings and it is now considered a Japanese war crime. 500 to 650 estimated Americans died during that march.

separation of powers, therefore, refers to the division of government responsibilities into distinct branches to limit any one branch from exercising the core functions of another.   the intent is to prevent the concentration of power and provide for checks and balances.  

the traditional characterizations of the powers of the branches of american government are:

* the legislative branch is responsible for enacting the laws of the state and appropriating the money necessary to operate the government.

* the executive branch is responsible for implementing and administering the public policy enacted and funded by the legislative branch.

* the judicial branch is responsible for interpreting the constitution and laws and applying their interpretations to controversies brought before it.

forty state constitutions specify that government be divided into three branches:   legislative, executive and judicial.   california illustrates this approach; "the powers of state government are legislative, executive, and judicial.   persons charged with the exercise of one power may not exercise either of the others except as permitted by this constitution."

while separation of powers is key to the workings of american government, no democratic system exists with an absolute separation of powers or an absolute lack of separation of powers. governmental powers and responsibilities intentionally overlap; they are too complex and interrelated to be neatly compartmentalized. as a result, there is an inherent measure of competition and conflict
