They gave the power to the people because they were fearful that if they had 1 leader(king, queen, or president) then the US would become much like Britain in which they had just broken free of. Hope this helps

Answer:

After the British colonies decided to break up with their motherland, Britain, the issue arose as to how these colonies were to be ruled, who would rule, and who would be ruled. States had already been formed, and they were to have the maximum authority in the Union. However, the debate remained as to how to ensure that this new country was ruled "by the people" and not by a single person.

One of the questions that needed to be answered was, how to ensure popular rule, and who were the people. Also, another question that needed to be answered was, how would these new lands be controlled and maintained? How could government models like absolute monarchy not be repeated in this land?

To solve this, each state decided to answer these questions on their own, not in a concensus, and thus, to do this, each one established its own state constitution that would only be superseded by the U.S Constitution.

Civil Disobedience - Resistance to an unjust<br> idea. Six Principles:
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

Civil disobedience is a refusal to obey authority orders or government laws aimed at enforcing a change in policy or some aspect of the political system. The broken law itself may be considered invalid or immoral, or the crime could be a way of pointing out an injustice or other cause. It usually refers to non-violent and passive methods of crime, and in resisting violence this is the disobedient's justification for breaking the law on the land of conscience.

It is a form of protest or resistance that highlights the cause of the disobedient and causes some disturbance, trouble, or waste to the authorities. It is a symbolic act rather than an opposition to the political system and the law as a whole, and the disobedient often hopes to set a moral example by accepting his punishment for breaking the law. By publicly challenging the authorities and drawing his case to the attention of his fellow citizens, his aim is to push the government into action. Some campaigners call civil disobedience a universal philosophy for changing society, while others see it as a tactic to use when there are no legitimate ways to act. In that case, morality underpins the protesters' power, in their absence of political, legal, or economic power.
