The Whig party was formed in 1834 to oppose what its members considered the heavy-handed and tyrannical presidency of Andrew Jackson and his Democratic Party.

The Whig Party was founded in the winter of 1833-1834 in Washington by national republicans such as Henry Clay and John Quincy Adams, as well as Southerners such as W. P. Mangum. Initially the Whig party had as its axis of action the opposition to policies headed by Andrew Jackson, especially the transfer of the deposit of the Second Bank of the United States. The party also attracted the support of rights defenders from Southern states, such as John Tyler, offended by the strong nationalism that Jackson maintained against South Carolina during the Nullification crisis. The Whigs also promoted the supremacy of Congress over the executive actions taken by Jackson, such as moving deposits from the bank without the consent of Congress, or vetoing the bank's recharge. Ridiculing "King Andrew," the American Whigs took the name of the English Whig Party, which opposed the power of the monarchy and supported Parliamentary control.

Read this excerpt from the US Constitution. Which portion of the text is an example of separation of powers?
asambeis [7]

The correct answer is Article I Section 1. All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.

The idea of separation of powers refers to a government in which there are several different branches that each have unique responsibilities. The aforementioned part of the Constitution is a perfect example of this, as it states that Congress has the ability to make laws in the US. Congress is given the ability to make laws, whereas the Supreme Court is given the power to interpret the constitution and whether or not laws are constitutonal, and the President is given the power to enforce the laws. This shows that each branch has a specific job in our government.

<u> B. A government's powers should be separated among different branches of government.</u>

Baron de Montesquieu was a French political philosopher often remembered for his work of a treatise on political theory, called <em>The Spirit of the Laws</em> (1748), in which he established and promoted the idea that the government should be separated into three different branches: the legislative, the executive, and the judicial. All of which should rule under the law and must check each other’s power in order to prevent corruption or abuses of power.
