<u>Explanation in regard to your first question:</u>
The "separation of powers" principle was an idea embedded into the plans for American government by our founding fathers, based on their reading of Enlightenment political theory. The terminology "separation of powers" was introduced by Charles-Louis de Secondat, the Baron of Montesquieu. (Usually he's referred to as just "Montesquieu.") He wrote an important work of political theory called <em>The Spirit of the Laws</em>, published in 1748.
Within his treatment of how governments will function best, Montesquieu argued that executive, legislative, and judicial functions of government ought to be divided between parts of the government, so that no one person or division of the government can infringe on the overall rights of others in the government or of the members of the society overall. The framers of the United States Constitution embedded the separation of powers into the plan for US government.
As noted by <em>The History Channel, </em> "In addition to this separation of powers, the framers built a system of checks and balances designed to guard against tyranny by ensuring that no branch would grab too much power." Some examples of the checks and balances used would be:
- Congress (the Legislative Branch) controls the government's budget, so the Executive Branch needs Congress's support to fund any of its desired initiatives.
- The President nominates federal officials, but those nominations must be confirmed by the Senate.
- The President has the ability to veto laws passed by Congress, requiring a two-thirds majority to override his veto.
- The Supreme Court and other federal courts (the Judicial Branch of government) can rule that laws passed by Congress or executive orders by the President are unconstitutional, blocking their implementation.

Explanation:
According to the Short Story, A young hippopotamus (hippo) tells his story of growing so fast and so big that no home could hold him. In this manner he would be free to sets out on his own to survive.
Here, the hippo is used as a representation for animal population and if the population grows just like the hippo did, countries won't be able to accommodate them so they will go on their own like the hippo, which can cause many bad things from destroying the ecosystem, to attacking people, or anything similar.
Democracy, or power by the people. This was founded in Ancient Greece and is still used today.
