Innocence for the Guilty When America was in the process of becoming a country, one of the main focuses of their new government was avoiding the tyranny that came with the system of ruling being that of a monarchy. The most notable way this new nation veered from the British path was by creating a democratic republic in which elected officials represented the will of the people. By no longer vesting power in one ruler who could serve until his death, other branches of the government had to be…
