The new nation’s founding documents were used as guidelines to ensure no single party had all the power. James Madison in Federalist Papers #47 explains, “Liberty requires that the three great departments of power should be separate and distinct” because he believes all powers of the government should not be together regardless of whether the possessors inherited them, are elected or self-appointed (Document B). Most likely vital in the new nation, power can be abused similar to the previous parliament and the crown. For example, if an official made a law as a possessor of the legislative power and later broke that law, he, or she could escape punishment due to being the possessor of the judicial power.

On September 17, 1787, the U.S Constitution was ratified and the greatest experiment in US history began. Realizing the need to establish a “more perfect union”, the founding fathers of our country created a three branch system of government. “The term "trias politica" or "separation of powers" was coined by Charles-Louis de Secondat, baron de La Brède et de Montesquieu, an 18th century French social and political philosopher.” (NCSL.Org) The “framers” of the constitution were well-established and educated men who studied politics and understood the grave importance of securing a democratic government. In order to ensure democracy, the idea of separation of power was of great importance. With the separation of power, the United States believed
Often called “The Crossroads of the World”, the Middle East stands between three continents: Asia, Africa, and Europe. Over thousands of years, migrating traders and conquerors crossed this region and spread the ideas, inventions, and achievements of many civilizations. It is an incredibly important part of the world with rich history, important resources, and deep religious and cultural traditions. However, in the past decades up to today, the Middle East has been consumed by conflict and chaos. Although different circumstances surround each issue, religion, terrorism, disputes over the control of natural resources, and weak governance primarily allow conflict to persist in the Middle East.
Dawning like the sun on a new day, the United Sates of America has risen to become the most powerful nation on Earth. The United States of today is a land of freedom and inspiration, and a place where dreams have a real possibility of coming true. Though the United States may be very strong today, it wasn’t always like this. In the years leading up to the formation of the United States, many of what are considered “natural rights” were not established, and the nation was in chaos trying to fight for these rights from the overruling British empire led by King George III. Several things led to the formation and firm establishment of the United States, the three most prominent being the imposition of taxation acts, acts of rebellion
B.C.E., such as the water structures, iron tools, and craftsmanship which has been beneficial to many.
The United States of America like many other western nations participated wholeheartedly in the race for colonies and an empire across the world, mainly in Asia and Africa. The United States had very little interest in Africa and preferred to focus its desire for an empire upon Asia and the Caribbean. The people of the United States whom democracy ultimately comes from where much more fickle and divided over what direction the nation should go in then many may believe. While many Americans fully embraced the ideals of Jingoism and the idea of spreading a great American empire throughout the world this opinion was meant with large amounts of dissent as many individuals felt that this was the wrong direction for the nation to go.
Since the native Americans have lack of experiences with diseases, it’s hard for the Americans to handle and treat them.
In 1949, the satellite states were Yugoslavia, Albania, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Poland, Romania, and Hungary. These some countries that the Soviet Union had control over at the time, during the Cold War. These countries were also labeled as satellite states because they bordered Russia, and while the nations were officially independent, they were under Soviet control. Czechoslovakia had many of the same problems that North Korea has today. Because of the effects with these satellite states, the pre-existing government should be overthrown.
In England, there's a rising rate in crime, but due to the recently discovered land, it gives England a new outlook to the crime punishment. For example, Document 1D4 states, “...these petty thieves might be condemned for certain years to the western parts…” The criminals would be sentenced to America in order to fulfill the punishment given by the government. Many people are able to be punished for their wrongdoings. If England settles in America, they are able to deal with the rising crime
In the late 1800’s farmers in the West faced many difficulties. Some of those difficulties included the monetary policy, overproduction, and differential freight rates. These challenges led farmers to debt, and being unable to make a decent living. Quickly, farmers became very unhappy with their situation and saw it as the government’s fault. So that opens up the question of “were their complaints valid?”

The land of Texas, explored only by Indian tribes at the time, had long been disputed over by several countries interested in north American colonies, in which Spain took the lead. In order to colonize the land, the Spanish believed their first step must be to establish a mission system, in which natives would convert to Catholicism. In theory, this would allow an easier colonization process; however, the attempt was a failure and Texas, once again, became useless. All the while, Mexico was gaining its independence and soon began to encourage immigration to the stagnant colony. This became an opportune time for Americans to settle in the area as well and the territory became quickly populated, but just as soon, slavery was immediately outlawed.
War! Yesterday on June 18 1812, President Madison declared war on the Canadas. To quote President Thomas Jefferson, "The acquisition of Canada this year, as far as the neighborhood of Quebec, will be a mere matter of marching, and will give us the experience for the attack on Halifax, the next and final expulsion of England from the American continent." Here is why I believe that a victory for us is definitely guaranteed.
New, fragile, and alliance-less, America was starting to look like an easy meal for the wiser, more advanced European countries. After all, the colonists relied heavily on France’s troops in the latter part of the War of Independence, who’s to say America is able to defend against another eager country looking for more colonies. Enter the Founding Fathers and Congress, a good representation of the colonies making up America, to shape the newly born country into the powerhouse it is today. But under the Articles of Confederation, the first attempt at a government in the states, there was several issues burdening these great names in history. Pockmarked with related issues like settling skirmishes
The following documents will argue why Athens was a democracy, and why the Greek city truly gave all the power it had to it’s citizens. All the following documents come from reputable sources and documents based from Ancient Athens and Greece itself..
A government is only instituted to ensure the rights of citizens. The Declaration of Rights of the Inhabitants of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts reserves the state’s right to certain powers that were not said in the United States Constitution. One of these powers is the ability to govern themselves as a free state (Document #7). One of the main reasons colonists were hesitant for a federal government was the strength and privileges the government would have. Colonists did not want the federal government always overriding the state government because it would infringe their rights. When the colonists give themselves the right to powers not stated in the Constitution, they are expanding their power. This also stops the federal government
