PLZ HELP!! To renounce one’s liberty is to renounce one’s quality as a man, the rights and also the duties of humanity. For him

who renounces everything there is no possible compensation. Such a renunciation is incompatible with man’s nature, for to take away all freedom from his will is to take away all morality from his actions. In short, a convention which stipulates absolute authority on the one side and unlimited obedience on the other is vain and contradictory. Is it not clear that we are under no obligations whatsoever towards a man from whom we have a right to demand everything? And does not this single condition, without equivalent, without exchange, involve the nullity of the act? For what right would my slave have against me, since all that he has belongs to me? His rights being mine, this right of me against myself is a meaningless phrase.”
Jean-Jacques Rousseau, “The Social Contract,” 1762

That is a good question.The answer to that is limitless as well. We had one main goal though when we started our nation. That was to create a nation that was not like England. Recently there was the election for our president. We have our elections so that we the people have a vote in what is going on with our nation where as when there was a king we had no choice.

ANSWER ASAP GIVING BRAINLIEST FIVE STARS AND HEART!
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

Checks and balances: The system of checks and balances in government was developed to ensure that no one branch of government would become too powerful. The framers of the U.S. Constitution built a system that divides power between the three branches of the U.S. government—legislative, executive and judicial—and includes various limits and controls on the powers of each branch.

Separation of powers: The system of separation of powers divides the tasks of the state into three branches: legislative, executive and judicial. These tasks are assigned to different institutions in such a way that each of them can check the others. As a result, no one institution can become so powerful in a democracy as to destroy this system.
