What was the historical reason for the separation of powers?

History

Answer:

The separation of powers is a political principle in some forms of government, in which the legislative, executive and judicial powers of the State are exercised by different government bodies, independent of each other. This is the fundamental quality that characterizes democracy.

Montesquieu argued that "every man who has power is inclined to abuse it; He goes until he finds limits. In order that power can not be abused, it is necessary for the disposition of things to detain power". In this way, the vigilance of the three powers among themselves is entrusted, since each one of them supervises, controls and stops the excesses of the others to prevent, by own ambition, that one of them predominates over the others. It can be contrasted with the merger of powers and separation of functions in parliamentary systems, where the executive and the legislature are unified, because the legislature appoints the executive.  

This doctrine does not refer only to the separation and balance of the three classic powers of the Government, but to the need to divide the political power where it is located, be it in the municipal, regional or national sphere, in order to guarantee political freedom and avoid abuses of power, through the surveillance and reciprocal control of separate powers.

In the late 1800s, after treaties and reservations failed, the United States Army went to war with American Indians in the West.
Georgia [21]
I’ll give you two:

Yes: The “War” on the Indians was not a traditional war of declaration but of skirmishes. When wagon trains of people headed West Indians would commonly target them for raids and pillage, so along many routes forts where built and patrols would try and make sure they were safe. If the problem became worse the local garrison would find the tribe and come with a list of demands. Most of the time they were fired upon arrival out of fear or anger. This would lead to a small battle or skirmish which would likely cause collateral damage.

No: The wars raged in the west against the Indians were that of near genocide, and to call it anything but is misleading. To claim that the slaughter of hundreds of innocent people was a “battle” is absurd and shouldn’t be considered. Though in films that depict such events are dramatized and inaccurate, situations much like those were taking place around the west yearly.

Brainlist What does Lin say about China’s desire for British goods?
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

Lin relied on aggressive moral tone, meanwhile proceeding relentlessly against British merchants in a manner that could only insult their government. The only lesson Lin drew from China’s humiliation was that it was necessary to learn more about these “barbarians” and to import their technology. He could neither comprehend the implications of the European challenge nor overcome the weakness and conservative opposition of his contemporaries. Later, the so-called Self-Strengthening Movement adopted Lin’s program of reform; still later generations of revolutionaries abandoned Chinese culture in order to save China but accepted Lin as a national hero because of his courage and example in opposing the British.

After the signing of the Treaty of Ghent, there was a backlash against the Federalist Party because Americans believed the party
belka [17]

Answer:

After the signing of the Treaty of Ghent, there was a backlash against the Federalist Party because Americans believed the party wanted the northern states to <u>secede</u> from the United States and join with Britain.

Explanation:

The Treaty of Ghent, signed on 24 December 1814, was a peace treaty between the United States and the United Kingdom that put an end to the War of 1812 (1812-1815). The Treaty ceased all hostilities, restored the borders between the United States and British North America (which would later Canada) to prewar status, and restored diplomatic relations between both countries.

The War of 1812 wasn't popular in many northern states of the US, especially in New England, as the war had crippled the New England economy because of its major economic and trade links with British North America. The then ruling party in New England, the Federalist Party, opposed the war because of this and campaigned for peace with the British. When the <u>Treaty of Ghent was signed, there was a backlash against the Federalist Party, as Americans from other states believed the party wanted the northern states to secede from the United States and join with Britain</u>. However, the Federalists in New England took a moderate position, as they recognized that any moves towards secession would likely trigger a major conflict, and they worked towards restoring trade with the British instead.
