Corrupt leaders made the democracy of Rome compromise itself and led to monarchy and then sometimes to ruin
Explanation:
The Democracy of Rome had many intricacies that excluded a number of people from ever participating and made it in a way an exclusive group that could ever hope to hold political power.
This made it easier for the government to be very corrupt and they had very little accountability.
The people became dissatisfied and thus many times supported the foundation of monarchy or even found the city in state of civil war multiple times in centuries.
Article I – The Legislative Branch. The principal mission of the legislative body is to make laws. It is split into two different chambers – the House of Representatives and the Senate. Congress is a legislative body that holds the power to draft and pass legislation, borrow money for the nation, declare war and raise a military. It also has the power to check and balance the other two federal branches.
Article II – The Executive Branch. This branch of the government manages the day-to-day operations of government through various federal departments and agencies, such as the Department of Treasury. At the head of this branch is the nationally elected President of the United States. The president swears an oath to ‘faithfully execute’ the responsibilities as president and to ‘preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States’. Its powers include making treaties with other nations, appointing federal judges, department heads and Ambassadors, and determining how to best run the country and run military operations.
Article III – The Judicial Branch. Article III outlines the powers of the federal court system. Determines that the court of last resort is the US Supreme Court and that the US Congress has the power to determine the size and scope of those courts below it. All judges are appointed for life unless they resign due to bad behaviour. Those facing charges are to be tried and judged by a jury of their peers.
Article IV – The States. This article defines the relationship between the states and the federal government. The federal government guarantees a republican form of government in each state, protects the nation and the people from foreign or domestic violence, and determines how new states can join the Union. It also suggests that all the states are equal to each other and should respect each other’s laws and the judicial decisions made by other state court systems.
Article V – Amendment. Future generations can amend the Constitution if the society so requires it. Both the states and Congress have the power to initiate the amendment process.
Article VI – Debts, Supremacy, Oaths. Article VI determines that the US Constitution, and all laws made from it are the ‘supreme Law of the Land’, and all officials, whether members of the state legislatures, Congress, judiciary or the Executive have to swear an oath to the Constitution.
Article VII – Ratification. This article details all those people who signed the Constitution, representing the original 13 states.
Answer:
Explanation:
The Articles of Confederation were the newly formed country of the USA's government set. It was mainly written by John Dickinson, a delegate from Delaware. It placed 13 laws that controlled state and country governments.
However, these laws put main power on the state governments while giving the central government almost none. This was due to the fact that they had just gone through a revolution against Britain, and they were controlled by a monarchy. The Americans were afraid that with a strong central government, it would become a monarchy just like Britain. They wanted to avoid this due to the taxes that a monarchy placed on them.
This led to a weak central government which caused all the states to act as independent countries. It also lead to different currencies in each state, which was a problem for farmers, as they couldn't pay their debts from money earned in the war.
Farmers were sometimes put in prison for not paying their debts, and they lost their farms. This caused Shays Rebellion, which called for a new system where the central government had more power.
This system was revised into the Constitution we have today.
Hope this helped!
