15 can someone me reword this into own words ? ? i need this done byzantine empire had a centralized system. an emperor with authority that came from god ruled the empire. a religious ceremony was held to crown this leader. this implies that the religious and political powers of the emperor were unconditional. contrary to a centralized governance in the byzantine empire, the society of the medieval europe formed several and different regional kingdoms after the decline of the roman empire. although the leaders of these kingdoms were their ultimate rulers, their political power was shared with powerful nobles. additionally, the religious powers of the pope reigned over these kingdoms.  the empire had trained bureaucrats who were appointed on meritocracy basis. these assisted in governance. the systems of the medieval kingdoms were relatively decentralized with local authorities’ leadership. these authorities comprised of the nobles who claimed authority on the basis of the ownership of land. therefore, the nobles performed duties that included initiating projects, taxation and formulating laws. people acquired these positions on the basis of nobility titles, privileges and birth places. although the europe society during the medieval times and byzantine empire were mostly christian societies, the religion also divided these societies. the patriarch and the pope clashed on issues of who possessed the greatest authority and power in interpreting religious practices within the church.

The byzentine Empire had a Controlled system. A high level Emperor that came from a god had ruled the empire. There was a religious ceremony to name him as the leader. This means that the religious and political power of the emperor were not subjected . In the Byzantine Empire, the society of the medieval Europe formed several and different regional kingdoms after the end of the Roman Empire. Although the leaders of these kingdoms were their higher rulers, their political power was shared with other powerful nobles. Which meant that they didn't have all the power to themselves. To add to that. the religious power of the pope had came back over all these kingdoms. The empire had trained the bureaucrats who were on meritocracy basis. These would help out with the government and how to run it. These authorities had made agreements with the nobles on who claims authority which is higher power. The nobles got there ranking on how much land they had or where they lived. In other words, this means that the nobles had made a duties that as there job they will have to make projects, making laws and also taxing people. The nobles had a lot of privileges that not all people had and you could tell on how high of a noble you are by where you lived. The religion had started to divide societies and then at the end they eventually ended up splitting them apart. But the patriarch and the pope always had the greatest power because they were the religious leaders.

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
