A written legal code would be am improvement over an oral set of laws because citizens may forget laws, depending on how much there are. Having them written, where everyone can read it, may help them better understand and remember the acts/laws.
c. Separation of Powers
Madison refers to all of the power of a government in one branch or in one person's power is how corruption and tyranny exist against a country's people. He would be supporting the idea of separating the powers between people so no one person had all the power.
The US creates separation of powers through the three branches of the federal government. The executive branch contains the president, their staff, and cabinet members. The legislative branch contains the Congress and the power to create laws. The judicial branch contains the court system which has the power to interpret and apply the laws of the land.
The quote "The United States in Congress assembled shall never engage in a war, not grant letters of marque or reprisal in a time of peace, nor enter into any treaties or alliances, unless nine states assent to the same" reflects the principle of federalism. The correct answer is A.
