Geoffrey of Monmouth, bishop of St. Aspah  (1100-1154), is credited with spreading a long-held belief that relates the megalithic monument to Merlin, the famous magician friend, and protector of King Arthur. He says that Stonehenge stones were brought from Ireland to the plains of Wiltshire with the help of some 'artifacts' to commemorate a mass burial of Bretons.

This Welsh Cleric relates this magnificent Stonehenge monument to the most famous druid/wizard, Merlin, and King Arthur. The legends speak even of the king's father, Uther Pendragon.

In one of his works Geoffrey of Monmouth, tells that the magician Merlin advised King Arthur to move from Killaraus, Ireland, the stone monument known as "the circle of giants" to its current location. The idea was to honor for eternity the memory of 460 noblemen killed by the Saxons and buried in the place. The envoys of the king could not dismantle the monument and it had to be Merlin himself who, magically, moved the stones to where they are today keeping its form.

Answer:

The term  "trias politica" or "separation of powers" was coined by Charles-Louis de Secondat, baron de La Brède et de Montesquieu, an 18th century French social and political philosopher. His publication, Spirit of the Laws, is considered one of the great works in the history of political theory and jurisprudence, and it inspired the Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Constitution of the United States. Under his model, the political authority of the state is divided into legislative, executive and judicial powers. He asserted that, to most effectively promote liberty, these three powers must be separate and acting independently.  

Separation of powers, therefore, refers to the division of government responsibilities into distinct branches to limit any one branch from exercising the core functions of another. The intent is to prevent the concentration of power and provide for checks and balances

The traditional characterizations of the powers of the branches of American government are:

  • The legislative branch is responsible for enacting the laws of the state and appropriating the money necessary to operate the government.  
  • The executive branch is responsible for implementing and administering the public policy enacted and funded by the legislative branch.  
  • The judicial branch is responsible for interpreting the constitution and laws and applying their interpretations to controversies brought before it.

I'm not sure if this can help, and if not, ask me and I can fix it!
