O C. Bank War
OD. XYZ Affair

B. Nullification Crisis.

Explanation:

The Tenth Amendment in the United States Constitution grants all of the powers that are not specifically granted to the government, to the states and to the people. This was very important, as many people were scared that the government would abuse their power onto them or have too much power in general. This was a way for the states and people to still have power, while still having a strong government.

The Nullification Crisis was a huge debate and issue on protective tariffs. The Southern states opposed tariffs, as the majority of their income was shipping goods to foreign countries. If protective tariffs were to be put on, it would be more expensive and they would ultimately lose money. The Southerners deemed this to be unconstitutional, they thought the federal government did not have the right to put these tariffs on them.

The debate about states' rights came along and tensions between the Southern states and the federal government would arise.

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
