Why did imperialists believe that the United States should expands its territory, and how did imperialists justify the morality of their actions?

Some Americans supported imperialism from a moral rather than an economic opinion. They saw much of the world as living in dark- ness. It was the duty of the United States, in their view, to bring the light of freedom and Christianity to those dark places.

These people believed our way of life was superior to the way of living in other countries. Another reason why we pursued a policy of imperialism was because we wanted to be viewed as a world power. ... We didn't have these colonies and felt we needed them to be viewed as a strong country.

“American imperialism” is a term that refers to the economic, military, and cultural influence of the United States on other countries. First popularized during the presidency of James K. ... During this time, industrialization caused American businessmen to seek new international markets in which to sell their goods.

Economic competition among industrial nations, political and military competition, including the creation of a strong naval force, and a belief in the racial and cultural superiority of people of Anglo-Saxon descent all fueled American Imperialism.

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
