Задание 4: Переведите следующие предложения на русский язык.
The system is based on the belief that government is controlled and close to the people.
For example, the United States of America is a federal republic with states that have their own legal status and authority independent of the federal government.
Although national power in the US plays an important role, states are still responsible for such spheres as education, health, transportation and law enforcement.
Separation of powers assumes that political power is not concentrated within a single branch of the national government.
Therefore, separation of powers is a misleading term, because the system is based on shared powers more than on separate ones.
The president nominates ambassadors and members of the cabinet, and negotiates international treaties – but all are subject to approval by the Senate.
