Hello!

The constitution guards against the concentration of power by having established the separation of powers.

Separation of Powers, also known as "checks and balances" is the way in which the U.S. government is split into different branches:

- The executive branch (the president)

- The legislative branch (the house of representatives and the senate)

- The judicial branch (the courts and judges)

By having a separation of powers, no single branch can take over or build up too much power. Each branch has a different role in government, so no branch has power over everything; they all need to work together in order to make an efficient government.

I hope this helps you! Have a lovely day!

Which statement best describes why slaves were not taught to read?

Andreyy89

The second alternative is correct (B).

Slaveowners saw these people as a private good that should satisfy their wants and make a profit. Education is a tool of liberation. People with access to information have a greater capacity to defend themselves and to claim rights. In this context, it was not interesting for owners to provide any kind of education to slaves. Moreover, the time that slaves would use to learn to read would be lost during working hours. Unfortunately this was a reality that is part of our history.
