Read the passage and correct any grammar or punctuation errors you find. George Washington is famous for being the first preside

nt of the United States. But what many people dont realize is that he was originally the commander of the Continental Army, which fought against the British to achieve American independence. When Washington took leadership of the army, it was not in good shape. The American soldiers were unreliable, disorganized and untrained. Washington had his work cut out for him. It was his job to strengthen the army so it would be able to defeat the british Army. He works to train soldiers and get them supplies, but the Continental Army is still far inferior to the British Army, which was much larger, more organized, and better trained. Because the British army was so much stronger, the Continental Army only won three out of the nine most important battles that took place during the Revolutionary War. Once the United States had achieved independence, george Washington is elected as the first president in 1789. Although Washington expressed doubt about becoming the president, he was unanimously voted into office, meaning he receives every vote from the electoral college. Americans were thrilled to have their independence, and they welcomed George Washington into office with excitement.

<u>Explanation in regard to your first question:</u>

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 Charles-Louis de Secondat, the Baron of Montesquieu.  (Usually he's referred to as just "Montesquieu.")  He wrote an important work of political theory called <em>The Spirit of the Laws</em>, published in 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 <em>The History Channel, </em> "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.
