Hey there! I'm happy to help!
Montesquieu was a French philosopher that is famous for coming up with many different ideas for types and principles of government, including separation of power. Articles I, II, and III of the Constitution set up the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial branches respectively. This correlates with Montesquieu's ideas of separation of powers.
Have a wonderful day! :D
Zheng He in the early 1400s led the largest exploration with seven voyages into the Indian Ocean which demonstrated the Chinese marine technology and navigation. First, he went from South China through the Indian Ocean to be recognized and get gifts from other rulers. His voyages had no intentions of conquering or colonizing but were ready to apply military force to anyone who disrespected him i.e., towards the end of his voyage he met pirates in Sumatran port whom he fought and killed 5,000 and took the leader to be beheaded in China. Other voyages include excursions to Hormuz, Arab port at the Persian Gulf, and the coast of East Arica where he carried giraffes ad skins. On his seventh and final voyage (1431 to 1433) he is believed to have died and gotten burried off the coast of India.
Here you go!
1) Checks and Balances- This idea is implemented in the Constitution to ensure that no one branch of the federal government gains too much power. For example, the legislative branch(Congress) can approve a bill that will then be sent to the executive branch (President). If the president does not like the bill or thinks that it violates the rights of citizens, he/she can veto the bill. Vetoing the bill stops the bill from becoming a law. This check on power ensures that Congress makes laws that do not violate the rights of citizens.
2) Anti-Federalists do not want to ratify the Constitution unless it includes a Bill of Rights. The Anti-Federalists are worried that the Constitution gives too much power to the federal government. Having a strong central government caused problems when the US was still part of Great Britain. This is why the Anti-federalists are fearful of this type of system.
3) Federalists want a new constitution passed because it will fix America's weak political structure. Before the US Constitution is implemented, the constitution being used is known as the Articles of Confederation. This constitution has an extremely weak central government, allowing for disunity among the states.
