Which of the following groups was most likely to face interrogation at immigration stations during the 1800s? a.) chinese immigrants b.) russian immigrants c.) irish immigrants d.) german immigrants

The correct answer is A.) Chinese immigrants.

Indeed, although the Irish and German immigration waves of the 1850s had also been the subject of hostility due to religious and cultural differences with Anglo-Saxon, Protestant Americans. These were white immigrants that did not constitute a reversal of the racial makeup of the country. Russian immigrants had also faced some hostility and discrimination but the Chinese faced both labor, social and institutional discrimination. In 1882 the Chinese Exclusion Act was passed in order to stop immigration from China for ten years.

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
