Separation Of Power

The United States government system is for the security and happiness of the people and for the union of this country. The government keeps us safe, and it keeps us free. There are three branches of government: Judicial branch, the legislative branch, and the executive branch. The Supreme Court is head over the judicial branch, Congress is the head of the legislative branch, and the President is the head over the executive branch. Congress makes the laws, the Supreme Court interprets the law and the President enforces the law (house.gov)

The Founding Fathers created the federal constitution during their time and this contained an intricate set of checks and balances between different levels and branches of government. This remains relatively unchanged within the US constitution. This set of checks and balances works in a way that makes the different branches of government still have independence and work on their own, but also requires them to work together interdependently. This creates better, stronger

The government is divided into three branches. Legislative, Executive, and Judicial. James Madison states in his Federalist papers, “Liberty requires that the great departments of powers should be separate and distinct.” Legislative writes the laws for and consists of the House of Representatives and Senate. Executive branch passes the laws the legislative branch makes and the President is the head of this branch. Judicial branch decides if laws are constitutional or not and consists of the Supreme Court. This keeps one branch from getting too much power.

There are three primary dissimilarities between the Constitution and the Articles of Confederation. Firstly, the Constitution advocated for a strong national government, which the Articles were deficient in. This is because the drafters of the Articles failed to include legislations that would promote a powerful central government, which would eventually cause major issues in the colonies. Following the Revolutionary war, each state considered itself to be sovereign and as such refused to give up certain rights, such as the right to tax (O’Connor & Sabato, 2018, p.22). As a result of the Articles, the national government was too weak and unable to control the actions of the states, one of the things the Constitution set out to fix. Secondly,

"The accumulation of al powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary... Liberty requires that the three great departments of power should be separate and distinct " (James Madison- Document B). The Legislative hold Congress, the Senate and the House of Representatives. The Judiciary holds the Supreme Court. Lastly, the Executive branch holds the Vice President and the President of The United States of America. By separating the three powers you keep one person, or group from gaining too much

We created the three branches of government, so that each branch as a different power, but having them all work together to be able to function themself. Therefore not giving any of the branches enough power to overthrow one another. These branches consist of the Legislative branch, which is separated into two groups, The House of representative, which is in charge of originating spending bills. The we have the Senate, which is in charge of impeaching officials and approving treaties. But all together they have the power to pass laws, which is headed by

The United States Government has three branches, legislative power, executive power, and judicial power. The founders of a division of power did not want all the power to be centralized in a monarch or anyone else, so they divided the legal authority into the three branches. Legislative power creates new laws, the constitution gives this power to congress, which is made up of the senate and the house of representatives. Executive power gives the authority to enforce laws, the commander and chief of armed forces is the president and the head of the executive branch. Judicial power gives the right to interpret the laws and determine their validity, the United States supreme court is head of the branch. The judicial

The U.S. Constitution divides the federal government into three branches, granting specific powers to each, much like “rock, paper, scissors”, constitutionally no branch of government is considered the strongest. ‘’Federal Legislative Branch– Makes laws (Congress), Federal Executive Branch – Carries out laws (President, Vice President, and Cabinet), and Federal Judicial Branch Evaluates laws (Supreme Court and Other Courts)’’. Each branch can change acts of the other branches, for example:

After the Constitutional Convention in 1787, the United States Government was reorganized under the Constitution. This gave the federal government far more power than did the Articles of Confederation, which invested power within the states. Basically, the Constitution created three branches of government (Executive, Judicial, and Legislative) which would work together to run the government. To make sure that there was an equal balance of power among the branches, a system of checks and balances was devised so that each branch could limit the power of the others. It is important to note that "the doctrine of separation of powers is not established by any constitutional provision [but] rather it emerges from he framers'

The Constitution created three branches, the Judiciary, the Executive, and the Legislative. The Judiciary branch was created to judge the laws and it has the power to stop any laws it deems unconstitutional. This helps stop bad laws from passing. The Executive branch was created to enforce the laws. This branch is headed up by the President of the United States, and has the power to send troops to put down rebellions and to make sure the laws are followed by punishing those who choose not to follow them. The Legislative branch was created to make laws the people want, so it is composed of elected officials who represent the interests of the people. These three branches helped to stop rebellions and put laws into place that the people wanted. However, while the creation of three branches of government solved many things, we must not forget that splitting the Legislative branch into two houses helped as

“The accumulation of all powers, Legislative, Executive, and Judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, maybe justly pronounced the very definition of tyranny,” which is said in James Madison’s Federalist paper, number 47. By separating the power, no one person or group could gain too much of it. The three branches of government are Executive, Legislative, and Judicial. The Executive makes the laws, the Legislative enforces the laws, and the Judicial determines if laws are broken. Separation of Powers began when James Madison drafted the Constitution.

The constitution was established by men who had experienced the dictatorships of Europe and had escaped from its grasp. They sought to establish a form of government that would never allow a dictatorship or tyrant ruler to hold power over the people like in the places they had fled. With their creation of the foundation of what our government is today they created a system where 3 branches were all of equal power and each could be overruled by another which prevented any branch becoming superior of another. The separation of powers provides a system of shared power called Checks and Balances.(2) The three branches are legislative, judicial and executive and they each have specific powers to

One person by the name Edward Burke said “The greater the power, the more dangerous the abuse”. The writers of the constitution didn’t want one person or group to have too much power. That’s when they decided to divide the government into three branches to make sure a central government. The three branches are legislative, executive, and the judicial branch.

The Division and Separation of power are essential to keep our societies rulers to have a restriction on their powers. The importance of each on the Australian domestic law especially in relation to the rule of law, and protecting individual rights, and the legal system.

The political system that runs the United States of America is a result of the Constitution, Amendments and the Civil War. As mentioned before, there are 50 states that help govern the nation along with the national government, referred to as the Federal Government. The Federal Government is comprised of three branches: Legislative Branch, Executive Branch and Judicial Branch. These three branches were developed to satisfy the principle known as ‘separation of powers’. This is the idea that no one institution has too much power. This also means that no individual member can be more than one institution. The principle of ‘checks and balance’ also falls under this idea. Each branch has limited authority to act on its own. With that being said, each branch regulates the other two and vies-a-versa to a certain extent. The House of Representatives and the Senate make up the Legislative Branch. Together they make the laws of the nation. There are two senates per state, meaning 100 senators in the Senate House, and today in the 11th Congress there are 435 members. All congress members are elected by their respective states into either the Senate or House of Representatives.
