Answer: The US Constitution creates executive, legislative, and judicial branches of government that can limit each other's 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.

What influenced the rise of romanticism and realism, and what values and ideas were at the core of each movements?
Pachacha [2.7K]
Romanticism was influenced by the enlightenment period which had classicism as its dominant art form. They were people who believed that classicism was too rigid and focused too much on scientific things and logic and being rational and wanted to speak more about mystic things and feelings and nature and supernatural and things like that, put more emotion and soul into writing.

Age of realism came as a response to this because they believed that romanticism was too melodramatic and depicted the world in a wrong way. They believed that people were being exploited by the society and the feudal lords or kings and that art should depict the world as it is in order to make people realize how bad things were. They believed romanticism artists were unaware of the troubles the people were going through.<span />
