Separation of Powers

Hello Everyone

The separation of powers is working very well and has been since this country was created. It allows for a government that is not dictated by one person. The current state of gridlock in our nation's capitol has not been caused by the separation of powers. The gridlock has been caused by many things, not the least of which are the two political parties that continue to become more strident in their views and are less willing to compromise. The fact remains that the United States' system of government continues to be the most effective form of government in the world. Thank you for your question.

Sincerely,

Baron de Montesquieu
