Answer:

The Declaration of Independence, which was ratified and signed by the Second Continental Congress in 1776, and which established not just the reasons as to why the American colonies sought to break their union with their motherland, also proposed the principles that not only gave them reason to desire the freedom from British rule, but also became the bedrock foundations of the new nation. These principles arose from the beliefs that men are all created equal and thus are equal in the eyes of the Creator and that as such, they enjoy a certain number of Rights that cannot be denied by anyone, including a king. Among the three most important principles established by the Declaration of Independence, and which became the pillars of the U.S Constitution later on were: the right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. From these three principles, then, the Declaration went on to explain the right of the people to be justly governed, and to have these rights ensured by their forms of government. It also established the right of the people to seek changes when a government system did not protect, and ensure, their basic rights.

The U.S Constitution, which was ratified in 1788, became the very way in which the principles and ideals of the Declaration were put into action by the new government. In three specific ways did the U.S Constitution adopted the principles set by the Declaration of Independence, in its preamble. First, it states the fact that all men are created equal and thus are empowered by their Creator with unalienable rights. Second, it also affirms that these basic rights are to be ensured and protected by the very law of the land. And third, it also states that among the basic rights of all people, three stand out and will be the very rock on which American law will stand: Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.

Answer:

The two themes I choose:

- <u>Separation of Powers</u>

The "Separation of Powers" states that governmental powers are to be evenly split between "x" amount of branches, x being determined by the Founding Fathers. Each of these branches are given a certain power (or job) that they need to do. For example, The Powers were separated and given to 3 branches:

Executive Branch: This branch is has the power to create a bill, as well as veto, line-veto, give ideas on what to change in a bill, create diplomatic relations with countries, ask congress to start wars, set up Judicial Judges.

Legislative Branch: This branch has the power to create bills, pass the bill, declare war, regulate commerce, control taxation and spending policies, veto or approve Judicial Judges.

Judicial Branch: This branch has the power to impeach Presidents, declare a law or bill as unconstitutional, have the last word on cases that reaches the Supreme Court.

- <u>Checks and Balances</u>

As stated above, there are 3 branches. Each of these branches (I will reiterate what i said) have the powers over the other, so as to not be able to overstep their bounds. Think of it as a triangle, in which they have more power and less power than the others.

<u>Executive Branch</u>:

<u>Powers</u>:

Veto/Pass Bills

Instate Judges

Start relations with other countries

<u>Weakness</u>:

Can be impeached

Veto can be overturned by Congress; Bills passed can be overturned by the Supreme Court

Must ask Congress to start wars if relations turn sour

<u />

<u>Legislative Branch:</u>

<u>Powers</u>:

Able to pass laws

Able to declare war

Able to regulate country and foreign commerce

Able to control taxes and how the government spends its funds

<u>Weakness</u>:

Congressmen & women can be replaced

Laws passed can be vetoed/declared unconstitutional

<u>Judicial Branch</u>:

<u>Powers</u>:

Life long term if appointed unless... (which would be put in weakness)

Able to declare laws unconstitutional

Able to have final word in how laws would be interpreted

<u>Weaknesses:</u>

Judges can be replaced

Rulings can be changed if the law is changed later on
