(1) prevent tyranny by acting as a check on power

Branches of government ensures that no one person takes total control of the government. Each branch also has specific responsibilities giving each authority in the government.

Montesquieu was an Enlightenment thinker who believed a government would fall to tyranny when the government or ruler had no one to answer to. By creating a system of branched government, the ruler(s) have a check on their power and have to answer to another body of the government. This system was used in the US under the Constitution by creating three branches of power: executive, legislative, and judicial.

What was the main reason that Congress passed the Indian Removal Act?
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

<u>The main reason was the dispute over the lands of the Native tribes. </u>

Explanation:

The governments of several states of the United States felt that the presence of the tribes was a threat to peace and security, because many Native Americans had fought against the United States in previous wars, often armed by foreign nations such as Great Britain and Spain. Other white settlers and land speculators simply wanted the land that was being occupied by the tribes. Therefore, these governments wanted all tribal lands within their borders to be placed under state jurisdiction.
