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.

How did the meaning of democracy shift from the colonial era to the revolutionary era
Readme [11.4K]
From the 1820s through the 1850s American governmental issues moved toward becoming in one sense more just, in another more prohibitive, and, by and large, more divided and all the more adequately controlled by national gatherings. Since the 1790s, legislative issues turned out to be more majority rule as one state after another finished property capabilities for voting. Legislative issues turned out to be more prohibitive as one state after another formally rejected African Americans from the suffrage. By 1840, every white man could vote in everything except three states (Rhode Island, Virginia, and Louisiana), while African Americans were prohibited from voting in everything except five states and ladies were disfranchised all over the place. In the meantime, political pioneers in a few states started to restore the two-party strife that had been the standard amid the political battles between the Federalists and the Jeffersonian Republicans (1793– 1815). Gatherings and gathering struggle wound up plainly national with Andrew Jackson's crusade for the administration in 1828 and have remained so from that point forward. Gatherings named possibility for each elective post from fence watcher to president and battled valiantly to get them chose.

What is freedom according to thomas jefferson
TiliK225 [7]

jefferson submitted his "rough draught" of the Declaration on June 28.  Congress eventually accepted the document, but not without debating the draft for two days and making extensive changes.  Jefferson was unhappy with many of the revisions—particularly the removal of the passage on the slave trade and the insertion of language less offensive to Britons.
