Hope this helps :)

I would describe Frank Crowe as determined, hardworking, innovative, and ambitious without regard to the well-being of his workers. Some of the innovations that made the construction of the Hoover Dam possible were giant mobile drilling rigs, a sophisticated cable system, and cooling pipes. The mobile drilling rigs allowed there to be up to 30 men per rig that were drilling tunnels that were used to divert the river. This sped up the normal drilling process by 10 times. The cable system helped distribute the cement to fill up the dam quickly. Finally, the cooling pipes put in the cement served as a way to help the cement cool. This sped up the cooling times, as estimates of the cement cooling without them was 125 years.

The construction of the Hoover Dam and Mount Rushmore were significant because they both served as important symbols to the American people. The Hoover Dam gave Americans a sense of the impossible, since it was the first concrete dam in history and the world's largest hydroelectric power producing facility. Mount Rushmore was a symbol of pride in the country and a symbol of faith in its future as well as it's past. These projects affected the U.S economy by creating jobs for workers. In the case of the Hoover Dam, workers also contributed to the economy in Las Vegas since that was a popular place for them to go after work.

The Dust Bowl took place because of a variety of environmental conditions including, an extended drought, high winds, and loss of topsoil. The overuse of the land by people contributed to the Dust Bowl as well. Looking back, I think the Dust Bowl might have been prevented if people would have come up with measures to try to not overwork the land, but the fact that other environmental factors played an important role suggests that the Dust Bowl was unavoidable.

The boxing matches between Joe Louis and Max Schmeling were big stories internationally because Joe symbolized democracy and Max symbolized totalitarianism. The boxing in the arena was seen as a battle of ideologies. When Joe won his second match with Max it was a comeback America especially needed.

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
