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

History

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.
