The framers adopted a federal system of government partly because they feared what?

xenn [34]3 years ago

The framers of the US constitution feared too much power being in the hands of one individual. This is based on America's experience as colonists under the rule of Great Britain. As colonists, America's were subject to taxes they saw as unfair and had no people in the British government to represent their wants/needs.

To fix this, the framers created a federal system of government. This means that power is split between different groups. In the US, there are three branches of the federal government. These include the executive, legislative and judicial. The executive branch includes the president (who approves of laws), the legislative branch (who creates the laws), and the judicial branch (who interprets what the law means). This system of checks and balances ensures that no one person will gain too much power in American society.

Compared with the decision in Plessy v. Ferguson, this opinion refutes the doctrine of “separate but equal.” supports the doctri
nasty-shy [4]

Plessy was a citizen who claimed to be seventh eights Caucasian and only one eighth Black. He was imprisoned and trial in a criminal court after an incident that took place while in New Orleans, in 1896, when he tried to board a car designated for hite people. He was denied a seat in the car for white people and urged to take a seat in the car for black people. As Plessy refused on the basis of his predominantly Caucasian race, the train staff arrested him, and then he was put in the parish jail. He was charged with criminal counts, but Plessy requested his case to be presented to the Supreme Court for he deemed there had been violations of the Thirteen and Fourteenth Amendments (abolition of slavery and equal treatment).

The Supreme Court's opinion stated that the treatment based on "equal but separated" did not conflict with the Thirteenth Amendment, for this amendment only protected citizens from being enslaved or forced to involuntary servitude, and no conflict was found with the Fourteenth Amendment since it enforced equality, but it did not specify under which terms. Therefore, the decision of the Supreme Court supported the doctrine "equal but separate" and segregation as well.
