Ancient Times Formalized track and field was first recorded at the Ancient Olympic
Games of 776 BC in Olympia, Greece. The single event
contested was a footrace of roughly 200 yards called the
stade or stadion, from which we get the word "stadium."
1 yard =
0.9144
The Ancient Olympics, deeply seeded in Greek
metres
mythology, commanded extensive cultural significance.
Wars halted for the Games. Qualifiers swore oaths before
Zeus, their highest god, that they had adequately
prepared for competition. Poets wrote verse about each Olympic
champion, and their deeds were chronicled for future generations.
Eventually though, (around 394 AD) the Games were abolished by early
Christians in an effort to wipe out polytheism, until their reintroduction in
modern times.

explanation:

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.

forty state constitutions specify that government be divided into three branches:   legislative, executive and judicial.   california illustrates this approach; "the powers of state government are legislative, executive, and judicial.   persons charged with the exercise of one power may not exercise either of the others except as permitted by this constitution."

while separation of powers is key to the workings of american government, no democratic system exists with an absolute separation of powers or an absolute lack of separation of powers. governmental powers and responsibilities intentionally overlap; they are too complex and interrelated to be neatly compartmentalized. as a result, there is an inherent measure of competition and conflict
