Who did Thomas Jefferson mold the separation of powers idea from when he wrote the Constitution

5 0

Probably the two main reasons that separation of powers changed from a popular theory to a vital principle of government were 1.)that the state leaders had within their reach, through election either by the houses or by the people, the office of governor, and 2.) it was generally accepted that the executive office was the place for leaders whether they were radical or conservative. Consequently, radical leaders such as Patrick Henry and Thomas Jefferson became governors and supporters of separation of powers in their efforts to strengthen the executive. On the other hand, the conservative Roger Sherman did not become governor and continued to oppose separation of powers.8<span> Had the executive office been unattainable in America because a king occupied the executive position, or weak because a king controlled the incumbent, then the services of popular leaders would have been limited to the legislative branch. Under these circumstances the supremacy of the legislative branch would probably have been established.</span>

How did Henry IV lay the foundations on which French monarchs would rule with absolute power?

gayaneshka [121]

I don't see any answers in the list that are fully correct.

Henry IV did not create the Estates General. That institution had developed already in medieval France, fell out of use, but then was revived during the latter half of the 16th century, a couple decades before Henry IV came to the throne.

Henry IV did not oppress the French people but sought to build roads and improve agriculture for the betterment of France and to build the loyalty of the people to his rule.

He did overthrow the previous ruler (Henry III), but not in "totalitarian fashion." After winning the "War of the Three Henrys" in order to become king, Henry sought to bring France to peace after religious warfare. He had been Protestant but converted to Catholicism for the sake of national peace, while at the same time extending legal protections to the Protestant minority.

Under Henry IV's rule, the central government did not control "almost every aspect of life." He worked hard to consolidate and centralize power for his government, but he was not yet what we would call an "absolute" ruler.
