Question

how did the constitutions created during the revolutionary war attempt to limit the power of the government and protect the rights of citizens

Answer 1

Answer:

The constitutions created during the Revolutionary War limited the power of government by preventing one person from running the entire country alone and with absolute power, and protected the rights of citizens against a tyrant leader.

Explanation:

The Constitution is a set of rules governing a state, which may or may not be codified as a written document, which lists and limits the powers and functions of a political entity. These rules form, that is, constitute, what the entity is. The constitutions created during the Revolutionary War were intended to protect the dictates of the citizens against a tyrant government, limiting the power of the government with the development of the three powers. The three powers (executive, legislative and judiciary) prevented all government power from falling into the hands of a single person and that person abusing power and ruling the country with tyranny.

Answer 2

The Constitution limited the power of government and protect the rights of citizens by instituting a "balance of power" system in which each of the three branches of government would be unable to become too powerful and thus tyrannical.  Hope this helps!!
