The division of governmental power among the legislative, executive, and judicial branches and the principal that one branch shall not encroach on another's authority are two basic tenets of state and federal governments. Sawyer describes North Carolina's experience with the separation of power question by reviewing State Supreme Court's decision on that issue in 1982 and outlining the General Assembly's continuing response.

Occupational licensing refers to state mandated licensing for some professionals in an effort to protect the public.

Revisions of these laws, who furnished licenses, and procedures to acquire the appropriate license are reviewed.
