1. In your opinion, why do we need to defend the customary experience inherited from generations? 2. As citizens, why do we need to respect and obey the government?​

Explanation: Since its asking for my personal opinion i will give you my response.

I think that we should obey the govs laws bc they are there to make sure we are safe. If there were not rules in place then this country would be a mess. (America.) I'm not saying all the rules are okay. Some shouldn't be there but they are sadly.

well the lessons we can learn is how quickly our fragile freedoms can be overcome. mccarthy rose to power in 1950 of a tsunami of anti-communist hysteria, brandishing a lost of "known communists" in the state department, and held public trials to enhance his political clout. he had fallen from power but only when his attacks were against the u.s. army broadcast to millions of americans to their homes exposing his indecent persecution of the innocence of people. the senate censured him in december 1954 disgraced and discredited, he had died three years later at the age of 47..i hope my answer has you.. good day to you..

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
