Eli Whitney a U-S born inventor patented an invention called the cotton gin in 1794. The cotton gin revolutionized the production of cotton by greatly speeding up the process of removing seeds from cotton fiber. By the mid 19th century, cotton had become America's leading export. Despite the success of the cotton gin Whitney saw little wealth from the invention due to patent infringement issues.His invention also offered southern planters a justification to maintain and expand slavery even as a growing number of Americans wanted it abolished. Due to his reputation for creating the cotton gin he later secured a major contract to build muskets for the U.S. government in which he promoted the idea of interchangeable parts that made assembly faster and for easier repair.

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
