Can you imagine how life would be in america if we weren’t protected from tyranny. Thanks to the constitution we don’t have to worry about that ever happening.

For example, take elections, if the states didn’t have equal power then all the power would go to the bigger states. So to make it fair each state has equal power the number of representatives in the house is determined by the population of that states. So for the larger states like California we would have more representatives than
