The Constitution of the United States established three distinct branches of Government - the Executive, the Legislative and the Judicial. Our founding fathers, in their wisdom, formed this division of government to establish the principle of separation of powers. This creates an internal system of checks and balances designed to protect citizens from capricious or tyrannical actions of government.
The Executive is a very powerful branch of the government, considering the President s mandate to dictate foreign policy and direct the armed forces as Commander in Chief. His cabinet, the Vice President, and various law enforcement agencies including the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), and Department of Treasury, are all an integral part of the Executive Branch.
Understanding Government: The Executive Branch is a fascinating program that analyzes the powers of the President from a legal and historical point of view. Past presidents had differing opinions on executive power; some held very conservative views on its scope of authority, while others held a more liberal stance on the powers granted the president and a few overstepped its bounds. This includes not only Richard Nixon, but also Franklin D. Roosevelt and even Abraham Lincoln. Noted educators and elected officials offer insight on this important facet of American political science.

About this product: The hoolock gibbons of Bangladesh have been brought to the brink of extinction by the relentless destruction of their forested habitats throughout the country, even in the most highly protected forest reserves. Numbering in the several thousands only 30 years ago, the hoolocks of Bangladesh now number less than 300, and that population is dwindling fast. The Wildlife Trust Of Bangladesh developed and co-produced this one-hour, high-def, TV documentary special on the plight of the hoolocks in Bangladesh, giving the viewing audience a sense of awareness and urgency of the dire situation facing the hoolocks. It is also hoped that this program will generate a renewed interest in conservation efforts, helping to bring this species back from the brink of oblivion in Bangladesh. There is an incredible international list of noted primatologists and wildlife biologists in this program, ranging from Dr. David Chivers of Cambridge University in England, Dr. Md. Anwarul Islam and Enam Ul Haque of the Wildlife Trust of Bangladesh, and many other top Bangladesh government officials. PLEASE NOTE - Gibbons are very difficult to film and there has NEVER before been any documentary covering their behavior, ecology, or natural history - however, for the very first time EVER, this program is filled with wild hoolock gibbon footage, making this program a landmark showpiece for all future wildlife programs.
