<span>There
are three branches to the government: Legislative (Congress), Executive
(President), and Judicial (Supreme Court). Some people will tell you
that power is distributed evenly between the three. And currently it
probably is. But that is not how it was intended... the Constitution
distributes the most power to the Legislative branch. The Executive
branch was to be a little less powerful, and the Judicial branch should
be the least powerful of the three. Hope this helps!!</span>
In the late 1800s, most Americans accepted laissez faire economics in
theory. In practice, however, many supported government involvement when
it benefited them.
