The Federalists, a group made up of merchants, bankers, manufacturers, wealthy farmers, plantation owners, in other words, well-educated citizens; thought that Republicans were uneducated and a second class citizens. At Government level, those two groups were represented by Jefferson and Hamilton. Hamilton believed that elite should rule, in comparison to Jefferson who thought that a common man was capable of self-control.

Having this said, the Federalist did not want the Republicans to vote or have any voice in the new nation that was born. A few years later, both parties went to elections and in 1706 the Federalist won the elections. But in 1800, Republicans beat the Federalists and Jefferson became president of the United States. And 1812 a war took place, the Federalists vs the Republicans, and the Federalist party disappeared as a result of their defeat.

The system of checks and balances refers to the ability of each branch of government to prevent another branch from becoming too powerful.  This happens within the separation of powers outlined in the United States Constitution.

The "separation of powers" principle was an idea embedded into the plans for American government by our founding fathers, based on their reading of Enlightenment political theory.  The terminology "separation of powers" was introduced by a French philosopher, Montesquieu, in <em>The Spirit of the Laws</em> (1748).  Within his treatment of how governments will function best, Montesquieu argued that executive, legislative, and judicial functions of government ought to be divided between parts of the government, so that no one person or division of the government can infringe on the overall rights of others in the government or of the members of the society overall. The framers of the United States Constitution embedded the separation of powers into the plan for US government.

As noted by The History Channel,  "In addition to this separation of powers, the framers built a system of checks and balances designed to guard against tyranny by ensuring that no branch would grab too much power."  

Some examples of the checks and balances used would be:

  • Congress (the Legislative Branch) controls the government's budget, so the Executive Branch needs Congress's support to fund any of its desired initiatives.
  • The President nominates federal officials, but those nominations must be confirmed by the Senate.
  • The President has the ability to veto laws passed by Congress, requiring a two-thirds majority to override his veto.
  • The Supreme Court and other federal courts (the Judicial Branch of government) can rule that laws passed by Congress or executive orders by the President are unconstitutional, blocking their implementation.
