The separation of powers and checks and balances are very important in giving power to both the federal government and the state governments, along with balancing power within the branches of government. Balancing the power of both the federal government and the state governments has always been a prominent issue in history, in some cases even splitting the country apart.

The separation of powers is essentially what it sounds like, separating the powers between the federal government and the states. Both have power and the people maintain the power to essentially overthrow and change the government if the government does things that are not in the best interest of the people and the country. While the federal government holds the most important powers, any powers that are not designated for the federal government goes to the states.

The checks and balances are important as well, as this prevents certain branches of government from obtaining too much power. The branches of government all hold key powers, all of them being balanced and can check each other if one has too much power.

What effects have the U.S.-Cuba trade embargo have on the economies of both countries
Bumek [7]
The Us were able to find same Cuban products from other supplier countries, while the Cuban country had to find other suppliers.

Cuba was not able to develop a high commerce with the US and the surounding countries were not necessarily the best ones to make business with. Cuba had the support from the former USSR until 1989 when it was disolved. Russia continued helping but not at the same level or amount as before.
