Answer: To provide checks and balances of power in the government, to prevent any one branch of government from taking over too much power.

Context/detail:

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.

I was alive and remember it well as many in my generation do. 

I was 19 when the attacks occurred in my sophomore year of college. I was walking into my 8:00 class when our professor informed us class was cancelled due to an attack in New York. I went back home and watched the news for the rest of the day. It showed the videos of the attacks and reported on information and pieces began to come together. 

This event shaped our domestic and foreign policies we experience today. For someone who can remember the event, we can also remember the ease of a flight or the lack of restrictions around the country. For people too young to remember or barely alive at the time of the attack, the event has shaped their lives as Americans.

What was the main reason that several new england cities became major shipbuilding centers?.
pshichka [43]

The main reason that several new England cities became major shipbuilding centers was these cities needed ships for deep sea fishing. The land near the cities was at first difficult to farm.

Shipbuilding is the construction of ships and other floating ships. It usually takes place in a specialized facility called a shipyard. A shipbuilder or shipbuilder is a specialized profession that has its roots in earlier history.

Shipbuilding and ship repair, both commercial and military, is called "naval engineering". Boat building is a similar activity known as boat building. The earliest known descriptions (including paintings and models) of shallow-water sailing ships date from the 6th to 5th millennium BC of the Ubaid period of Mesopotamia. They were made from baled reeds covered with bitumen and had bipedal masts. They sailed in the shallow coastal waters of the Persian Gulf. Evidence from Ancient Egypt shows that the early Egyptians knew how to attach wooden planks to the hulls of ships as early as 3100 BC. Ancient Egyptian pottery circa 4000 BC. AD shows drawings of the first riverboats or other maritime vehicles.
