How does our system of checks and balances help protect our rights?

As we have already seen our Constitution is very much a reaction to the events that came before it. Our founding fathers had several goals, foremost among those goals was to avoid tyranny. In order to do this several different systems were set up to prevent the abuse of power. Federalism was one of these systems. Federalism was designed to balance the power of the national and State governments and thus limit the powers of the national government. Jefferson and others were convinced that state government was closer to the people and thus more democratic.

I hope this helps!!:)

Iit protects against any branch of the government trying to abuse its power. This way all powers are shared and equal. This goes even for the president, he alone cannot mandate orders. It takes approval of branches (judicial, legislative, executive) to get to a deal. :)

Happy New Year!

The Intolerable Acts were aimed at isolating Boston, the seat of the most radical anti-British sentiment, from the other colonies. Colonists responded to the Intolerable Acts with a show of unity, convening the First Continental Congress to discuss and negotiate a unified approach to the British.

This might be it or

The Boston Tea Party was a political protest that occurred on December 16, 1773, at Griffin's Wharf in Boston, Massachusetts.

How would you judge Samuel Slater and Francis Lowell, who brought secrets to the United States illegally?
Harlamova29_29 [7]
Well they both helped to modernize/industrialize the U.S, so it depends which view point you would like to take. They stole the plans from england, who had successfully monopolized industrialization for almost a century, who would be upset at this loss of control and therefore business. However an American would probably be thankful for the industry that blossomed as a result of these actions.
