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. :)

Strict constructionists want Congress to
kiruha [24]

The correct answer is D.

A person with a strict interpretation of the constitution wants the government to only perform the powers given to them in the constitution. If the constitution does not explicitly give the power to an individual or group (like the President, Congress, or the Supreme Court) than that group/individual can not perform that duty.

 On the other hand, those individuals who think that the constitution is flexible and that some powers can be "assumed" would fall under the category of having a loose interpretation of the constitution.
