The Reconstruction era is always a challenge to teach. First, it was a period of tremendous political complexity and far-reaching consequences. A cursory survey of Reconstruction is never satisfying, but a fuller treatment of Reconstruction can be like quick sand—easy to get into but impossible to get out of. Second, to the extent that students may have any preconceptions about Reconstruction, they are often an obstacle to a deeper understanding of the period. Given these challenges, I have gradually settled on an approach to the period that avoids much of the complex chronology of the era and instead focuses on the “big questions” of Reconstruction.
However important a command of the chronology of Reconstruction may be, it is equally important that students understand that Reconstruction was a period when American waged a sustained debate over who was an American, what rights should all Americans enjoy, and what rights would only some Americans possess. In short, Americans engaged in a strenuous debate about the nature of freedom and equality.

The separation of powers and checks and balances grants each branch of government with their own limits of power. This prevents tyranny because the other branches will check the one branch's limits on the power and stop it before it gets out of hand.

<u>Explanation:
</u>
- Though the President of the United States serves as the supreme head of the government, the principles of distribution of power and checks and balances are ultimately applied to him too.
- This distribution of power is deemed to be necessary as it prevents an individual from overpowering the majority of officials that work under him.
- Hence, the foreign policy power of the President can thus be deemed to be 'limited'.
