5 0

We can define gerrymandering as the manipulation of political and regional districts in order to reach an electoral or political advantage for a particular organization, group or political party.

We can define pork-barrel as the act of spending money on projects that are deemed necessary in order to gain a political or electoral advantage for a group or political party.

Both of these systems are in general deemed unfair since there are clear ulterior motives to reach political advantage against their adversaries.

The key disagreements that shaped the terms of the constitution of the United states of America were over;

  • congressional representation,
  • the president's powers,
  • how to elect the president (Electoral College),
  • sla.very, and
  • a bill of rights.

<h3>What compromises were necessary to produce the Constitution?</h3>

The Great Compromise comprised of:

  • the Three-Fifths Compromise, and
  • the Electoral College.

These were the three key compromises. The Great Compromise resolved issues about representation in the federal government.

<h3>What roles did James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and George Washington play at the Convention?</h3>

In 1787, he and Alexander Hamilton sponsored the Annapolis Convention's request for a constitutional convention in Philadelphia. Madison labored strenuously to arrange George Washington's attendance at the conference in Philadelphia.

Madison, a nationalist, wrote the so-called Vir.ginia Plan at the convention.

<h3>How does the Constitution distribute power in terms of checks and balances and separation of powers?</h3>

The Checks and Balances system is related with the separation of powers in the United States.

The system of checks and balances gives each arm of government distinct rights to check the other branches and prevent any one branch from becoming too strong.

<h3>What were the arguments of the Federalists and Anti-Federalists during the ratification debates?</h3>

The Federalists claimed that this amendment was unnecessary since the Constitution as it stood only confined the government, not the people.

The Anti-Federalists argued that the Constitution gave the central government too much authority and that without a Bill of Rights, the people would face despotism.

<h3>How did the Bill of Rights resolve the concerns of some of the delegates to the Constitutional Convention?</h3>

In the end, compromise won—delegates decided to grant the President a limited veto authority, but one that could be overruled by a vote of two-thirds of both houses of Congress.

<h3>How have the beliefs and ideals found in the Constitution changed or remained the same through America's development?</h3>

The ideals and belief that found the the constitution have endured the test of time.

<h3>How is the Constitution a living document?</h3>

A living constitution is one that changes over time and adapts to new situations without being formally altered. On the one hand, yes: there is no viable alternative to a living Constitution.
