of government.
History

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.

2. Address the idea of liberty and Republicanism for both
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

To pro-slavery factions, liberty and republicanism were to a limited extent, that is to say, they only applied to white people, not to black people or to enslaved people. Pro-slavery factions thought that it was their right and freedom to enslave other people to work for them.

To abolitionists, liberty and republicanism were universal and applied for everyone. This meant that slavery was not to be permitted, because it went against the very liberty of a whole group of people.
