We make the laws which reflect our moral and ethical codes of conduct or lack thereof. If we were perfect, there would be no need for laws or government.

This statement by James Madison argues that men are not perfect, and that human nature can be flawed. He believes government exists in order to control and limit the impact of these flaws.

One example is the separation of powers. The principle of the separation of powers states that power must be divided among different branches of government. The branches limit and control each other, and safeguard against the abuse of a tyrant. If people were not corrupted by power, or did not have a tendency to abuse power for their own gain, then the separation of powers would not be necessary. However, because human nature is flawed, these measures are necessary in government.

How was the life of a woman in a big eastern city like Boston or Philadelphia different from the life of a woman on the frontier
Veronika [31]

Answer:

In the 1790s, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, was America's largest city. Between 1790 and 1800, Philadelphia served as the nation's capital. It was the center of wealth and power in the new nation. Prosperous Europeans as well as foreign government officials visited the city and were wined and dined in grand style.

In 1682, William Penn (1644–1718), Pennsylvania's founder, laid out Philadelphia's streets, forming square blocks for houses and buildings. The city was a mix of fine homes and modest houses, wealthy families and working people. It boasted fine taverns (central meeting places that included rooms in which to eat, drink, and spend the night) and nicely appointed boardinghouses, paved streets, many churches, private schools, and a busy waterfront. Philadelphia was also the printing and publishing center of the United States.
