History
1 answer:
Lubov Fominskaja [6]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The reason why the promise of "40 acres and a mule disappointed many newly freed African Americans.

Was because, after the death of former president Abraham Lincoln, President Andrew Johnson mandated to reverse ownership of land from African Americans, and offered only payment for the work of the land.

Explanation:

When former president Abraham Lincoln was alive he made the promise. However when he died and Andrew Johnson replaced him. He just backed it up and blocked African Americans from owning the land. Instead, he offered them payment. Also, most African Americans obtained land through a private transaction. They were disappointed because the government failed its promise.

<u>Explanation in regard to your first question:</u>

The "separation of powers" principle was an idea embedded into the plans for American government by our founding fathers, based on their reading of Enlightenment political theory.  The terminology "separation of powers" was introduced by Charles-Louis de Secondat, the Baron of Montesquieu.  (Usually he's referred to as just "Montesquieu.")  He wrote an important work of political theory called <em>The Spirit of the Laws</em>, published in 1748.

Within his treatment of how governments will function best, Montesquieu argued that executive, legislative, and judicial functions of government ought to be divided between parts of the government, so that no one person or division of the government can infringe on the overall rights of others in the government or of the members of the society overall.  The framers of the United States Constitution embedded the separation of powers into the plan for US government.

As noted by <em>The History Channel, </em> "In addition to this separation of powers, the framers built a system of checks and balances designed to guard against tyranny by ensuring that no branch would grab too much power."  Some examples of the checks and balances used would be:

  • Congress (the Legislative Branch) controls the government's budget, so the Executive Branch needs Congress's support to fund any of its desired initiatives.
  • The President nominates federal officials, but those nominations must be confirmed by the Senate.
  • The President has the ability to veto laws passed by Congress, requiring a two-thirds majority to override his veto.
  • The Supreme Court and other federal courts (the Judicial Branch of government) can rule that laws passed by Congress or executive orders by the President are unconstitutional, blocking their implementation.
