Answer:  Anti-Semitism refers to prejudice and persecution against Jews.

Explanation/details:

Anti-Semitism was strong in Europe already in the Middle Ages, when Jews were accused of such things as spreading the plague by poisoning wells, or using the blood of murdered Christians to make the matzah for their Passover rituals.  The term "anti-Semitism" as a description for hostile opposition to the Jewish people was first used by Wilhelm Marr in 1879 in Germany.  Marr supported campaigns against Jews and began using the term "anti-Semitism" as a euphemism for what better might have been called "Jew-hating."

Anti-Semitism throughout Europe in the late 19th and early 20th centuries prompted the Zionist movement.  The Zionist movement was a nationalist cause for Jews to establish a homeland for themselves in the ancient territorial home of the Jewish people, in the region which had become known as Palestine. (That name was based on the old Roman empire name for the "Philistine" region.)

Anti-Semitism saw its strongest expression in the Holocaust -- mass murder of million of Jews carried out by the Nazi regime in Germany during World War II.  

Anti-Semitism continues to be a problem today, as was seen when a man carried out a mass shooting at a Jewish synagogue in Pittsburgh on October 27, 2018, while worshipers were gathered there.

Explain why the framers of the constitution gave most of the power to the members of the legislative branch
denpristay [2]
The Framers of the Constitution clearly intended the Congress to be the most energetic and powerful branch of the national government. It was to the Congress that power was given to make laws, tax, spend and even declare war. The President and the Supreme Court may act independently of the Congress or even contrary to its wishes, but the Constitution extends to the Congress a much larger menu of powers than it does to the other branches.

While the Constitution affords the Executive and Judicial branches powers which can be used to check and balance the Legislative branch, the Framers took the additional precaution of dividing the Congress in two, creating a House of Representatives and a Senate. This was made necessary, Madison argued in The Federalist No. 51 because:
