What principles guided president hoover’s response to the great depression, and how did this restrict his ability to the american people?

Acceptance of business cycle -

He led the free market to take full control of the economy. Since unregulated businesses often went out of their way to get as much profit as they can, a lot of worker class' needs were abandoned

Aversion to government relief -

Hoover provide very little budget to government welfare, which restrict government's ability to help the poor

Preference for associational action -

Hoover provide the business corporations with too much influence within the government. This make the private sectors able to easily influence the type of law that shall be made in the country.

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
