Which of the kingdoms discussed in this section developed away from the coast? How did the economies of these kingdoms compare to other African kingdoms? (identify five kingdoms that weren't on the coast and list three main trade items)

Ghana, Kush, Songhai, Great Zimbabwe, Benin, and Kongo.

Explanation:

Ghana was in an ideal position to become a trading centre. The Ghana Empire became flourish and stronger in West Africa. Ghana Empire became prosperous because of salt and gold smelting. The Songhai grew in strength in the 1400s along the Niger River. Great Zimbabwe was known as a wealthy trading empire from the 11th century. The Benin kingdom began when the Edo people resided in the rainforests of West Africa in 900s. Kongo was the kingdom in west-central Africa which located in the south of the Congo River.

The economies of these kingdoms based on control of trade routes, food warehouses, and goods from the centre of Africa.

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
