2. The Industrial Revolution, which had changed western Europe quickly and dramatically, had not brought the same advances in Russia at the start ofthe 20th century. How did the lack of industry help cause a series of revolutions in Russia?
In Russia's agriculture-based economy, there were few possibilities for making money or moving up in society,
O without railroad or communication systems, Russia was not prepared to protect its vast territory from those who wanted to control it.
O without the ideas that came out of the Industrial Revolution, Russia did not know how to compete for new colonies.
O without the experience of an Industrial Revolution, Russians did not understand that revolutions inteferred with commerce.

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
