They borrowed his ideas bc they didn’t want one person or group to have all the power like the king of England at the time; therefore having 3 different branches and separated power was the solution

The founding Fathers were heavily influenced by the ideas of the French philosopher who wrote in his ‘Spirit of Laws’ that the inevitability to delegate commands and power is imperative as it would prevent any branch to become too authoritative while formulating and executing federal policies.

This aspect of Separation of Powers enthused US to formulate its own Constitution which encompassed two major aspects: delegation of powers, checks and balances.

This French philosopher belonged to the period of Enlightenment. He believed that when power is equally deputized there will not be any domination of one particular branch over the other.

What does “ the state is much more interested in how you die than in how you live” mean ? What does it mean for American citizen
Leni [432]

Answer:

The meaning behind the statement “ the state is much more interested in how you die than in how you live” is that the government wants to find the major causes of death and reduce them.

The meaning for American citizens is that the government wants to improve their lives.

Explanation:

First of all, this is a very good sociological question, because they allow us to perceive the posture of the government in their attempt to increase its citizens' quality of life. That is the reason why the government wants to know how you die, so they can reduce the unnatural causes of death to increase your quality of life. Also, that is very important for American citizens as the government wants to know the citizens' causes of death to reduce them as much as possible to leave the natural ones alone.
