Answer:

In 1629, a group of Puritans fearing for their religion, secured a charter from the king to form the Massachusetts Bay Colony. This colony was blessed with prosperous and highly educated people, including John Winthrop, who would go on to become the governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. The Puritan’s settlement also benefited from the shared sense of purpose among them. John Winthrop described their purpose clearly by stating, “ We shall be as a city upon a hill, the eyes of all people are upon us”. The Puritan Bay colonists believed that they had a covenant with God, to build a holy society that would be an example for all humankind. The same way of thinking can be said about American Identity. Americans believe they have a purpose of setting an example for other countries around the world. Just like how Puritans want to spread their religion, Americans want to spread their ideas of liberty, equality, and individualism.

Why would the colonists after the revolutionary war create an executive branch with constitutional limits?​
sattari [20]

After the Revolutionary War, the colonists created an executive branch with constitutional limits in order to prevent tyranny from the government and let the states still have power.

The Articles of Confederation was the first constitution for the United States, it was very weak and gave the national government little to no power. The government could barely create and enforce laws, regulate trade, draft soldiers, or tax the people.

Some people preferred this, as they felt like the power should be in the hands of the people and were scared of tyranny, as they had just broken away from British rule during the Revolutionary War. Still, some people wanted to create a stronger government and felt like the Articles of Confederation were doing more harm than good.

During the Constitutional Convention of 1787, the Articles of Confederation ended up getting scrapped and the United States Constitution was created instead. This created three branches of government, one of them being the executive branch, where the president is. Many people feared that the president would become too powerful, so they made each branch have constitutional limits. These are called separation of powers and checks and balances, each branch is powerful in its own ways and holds certain powers over others to keep each other in check.
