(hc)which of these resulted from the election of pro-communist leaders in guatemala and iran in the early-1950s?
imposition of economic sanctions against those two countries
placement of u. s. nuclear missiles in latin america and the middle east
use of the cia to bring about a change in government in those two countries
announcement of a new policy aimed at containing the spread of communism

use of the CIA to bring about a change in government in those two countries

Explanation:

In the 1950's, Guatemala and Iran took a turn in their politics and became pro-communist. This angered the United States, and in order to stop this process, and remove the communism from these two nations, CIA was employed. CIA was used in order to shake the governments by using propaganda, organizing protests, training and militarizing some of the population that was opposing that. This resulted in overthrows in the governments, organized by the United States, but the governments that were set in place by the United States didn't lasted long, so the effort was not really a long term success.

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
