Equal Distribution Of Power: Leading Up To The American Revolution

For years leading up to the American Revolution, the colonies felt that British rule was oppressive. Events like the Stamp Act, passed by British Parliament in 1765, inflamed these feelings. Eventually, the colonies felt they needed to break free from British rule which led to the Declaration of Independence. Equal distribution of power would play a fundamental part in the system of Federalism. The three branches of government: the legislative, executive and judicial, exemplified this as each group had checks and balances to ensure no branch became too powerful. The proposed Constitution should be ratified because it calls for unity among the states and it prevents tyranny.
The Constitution also worked to prevent oppressive rule. James Madison
