The early explorers in north america founded settlements and named them after places or people from their home country. they often added the word new to the town or city name from their home country. this is why we have place names such as new hampshire and new england in north america. the places they are named after tell you where in europe the explorers came from. for example, british settlers named the state of new hampshire after the english county called hampshire. spanish explorers named many settlements after catholic saints. for example, san francisco was named after saint francis of assisi, a twelfth-century catholic priest. make a list of places (states, regions, or towns) whose names show similar connections. make sure you find at least three to four places that show a connection to each of the three nations—spain, france, and england. you can start your research with these resources: \

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
