Best answer:

<h2>The United States concentrated its efforts on the development of rockets.</h2>

History / explanation:

The Sputnik satellite was sent into orbit by the USSR on October 4, 1957.  The Soviets announced its mission as a scientific one, to study the solar system. In the Cold War atmosphere, of course, Americans were wary of what other motives the USSR might have had.  The Soviets launched Sputnik 2 in November, 1957, with a dog on board.  The USA scrambled to get its own satellite program operational, launching the first US satellite, Explorer, on January 1, 1958.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was founded in July, 1958, to continue the United States' advance in space technology.

Which group of American troops defeated the Apache leader victorious
lozanna [386]

The commanders of the 9th and 10th US Cavalry Regiments faced a skilled adversary who used unconventional tactics  and methods as well as an international border to seek sanctuary. The Apache chief Victorio was the principal threat to Western settlements during the post Civil War period. He led a large band of warriors across the deserts and mountains of southern New Mexico and Texas, spreading terror and destruction as he struck at will. Only after an intuitive regimental commander’s shift in tactics did the Army finally gain the upper hand and drive this rogue Apache into Mexico where Mexican forces under Colonel Joaquin Terrazas in the Battle of Tres Castillos ultimately trapped and killed him on a remote mountain.

Answer:

ensure checks and balances and to prevent any abuse or misuse of power.

Explanation:

Separation of power generally refers the process of separating and dividing powers among the three branches of the government. This system is adopted in order to ensure checks and balances and to prevent any abuse or misuse of power by any of the three organs of the government - namely legislative, executive and judiciary.

While the executive branch makes sure that the legislative acts according to the provisions of the constitution or law. It ensures that all decisions and policies passed the legislature are equal and justifiable.
