The federal government is organized into three different branches including:
1) The executive branch (aka the president)
2) The legislative branch (aka Congress)
3) The judicial branch (aka the Supreme Court).
This form of government was created to ensure that no one individual had too much power. One of the most significant reasons why America became independent in the first place was due to a corrupt British government in which colonists believed King George III had too much power and did not consider the needs of the citizens. This is why the founders created a system in which the citizens elect members of the legislative and executive branch.
Along with this, the framers also created a system of checks and balances. This ensures that no one part of the federal government has too much power. Each branch has significant power but can be overruled by another branch. For example, if a President makes an Executive Order, the Supreme Court can declare it unconstitutional (aka illegal) if it is brought up in a court case. This makes sure that the President abides by the constitution.
The main reason why Congress worked to keep a balance between the number of slaveholding states and free states is because they wanted to avoid war breaking out between the North and the South. They tried to do this through a series of compromises that ultimately failed.

The government forced the Cherokee Indians to leave Georgia because of the need for arable land during the increasing growth of cotton agriculture in the Southeast, discovery of gold on the Cherokee land and the racial prejudice that many white southerners harbored toward American Indians. This Cherokee Removal happened in 1838 and 1839. The US troops expelled Cherokee Indians <span>from their ancestral homeland in the Southeast and removed them to the Indian Territory in what is now Oklahoma.</span>
