Separation

In comparing the powers of both the legislative branch of government to the executive branch of government, one must first understand why these branches of government was made, what each individual form of government does, how they are able to function separately and also, what their purpose is for the people of the nation. The first branch of government, the legislative branch, was first established in Article 1 of the Articles of Confederation. The first founding fathers of the nation…

Texas has had six constitutions as a state since 1836. The current constitution became effective on February 15, 1876; and is the same constitution currently used. It is the second-longest serving constitution in the United States. The United States constitution being the first longest. Since February 1876, the Texas constitution has been amended 484 times and is made up of seventeen articles and 385 sections. The five previous constitutions occurred within a span of forty years.

types of branches, though, they differ in power because the president is the only one in charge of the executive branch of government like Congress is the only one in charge of the Legislative branch. Because of the effectiveness of the system of separation of powers, for which separates all three branches of governments and the amount of powers each one has, the president is therefore not a member of Congress and Congress is not responsible for the election of the president of the United…

Introduction: One would have a hard time to get two people to agree on anything. This is one reason why the Founding Fathers created the Constitution to provide direct and vague guidance. Since the guidance is both direct and vague it allows the document a lane for the pursuit of perfection. Furthermore, it allows the government to decentralized and provides each individual citizen a path to legally exercise their thoughts and freedom. The below correspondence will discuss the evolution of…

it cause inflation. Americans are once again debating the issues of national or individual rights, though I feel the constitution currently addresses national rights and ignores the individual rights. The constitution addressed framers needs of separation of powers with three separate and discrete branches. One being national rights,…

America has always been seen as the land of the free and democratic. But how democratic is America? A textbook definition of democracy is “a form of government in which the people rule, either directly or through elected leaders”. Pure democracy is when the people directly rule. Pure democracy typically only works in small societies. In America, we have a representative democracy. We vote for representatives and those representatives vote on the policies that will affect the public. The model…

The Constitution today is a symbolism of American. It shows how we broke away from British rules and formed our own type of government. The Constitution is held proud in American and is essential because it shows documentation of what our rights and liberties are. The Founding Fathers motives in creating the constitution were to create a more democratic society. For example limiting the power of government insuring we all have domestic tranquility, and ways to create a unbiased government. The…

Although James Madison’s Federalist Paper #10 has been revered as the basic fundamental for political power in the constitution, I believe there is more to the story. Federalist Paper #10 discusses factions (groups of people who have interests not identical to that of an overall society) and how to prevent them from abusing their political power. He believes there are “two methods of curing the mischiefs of faction: the one, by removing its causes; the other, by controlling its effects.”…

The government of Aragon was in many ways modeled after the system of government found in the Roman Republic. It consisted of a separation of powers and a system of checks and balances. A balanced, constitutional government consists of legislative, executive, and judicial functions. In a monarchy, all of these would be included under the king. He decided how the kingdom would use its money, how that money would be raised, what the laws were, how they would be executed, and oversaw that they were…
