Those are the three sentences that describe some means of bureaucratic oversight.

The United States bureaucracy is the different offices from the cabinet of the executive branch that manages the public resources and implement the policies of the federal government.

We are talking about departments and agencies such as the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Energy, the Department of Health and Human Services, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Agriculture, the Department of Defense, the Department of Commerce, the Department of Transportation, the Department of Transportation, the Department of Interior, the Department of State, the US Agency for Internal Development, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and many others.

These departments need supervision and oversight so federal employees can be efficient with the resources they manage and efficiently delivering results. Corruption in the federal government is not accepted. As simple as that.

A) Independent agencies audit executive departments and make recommendations for improvement. B) Congress investigates how the funds are being used at the Department of Homeland Security. C) A journalist obtains records from the Department of Defense with the Freedom of Information Act.

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
