Separation Of Powers Between Large States And Federalism

The constitution guards tyranny by separation of powers, powers between small and large states and Federalism. The U.S government wasn’t always sturdy enough to keep from having a tyranny. Many governments would have issues with one branch or one person having too much power over each other. Separation of powers, powers between small and large states and Federalism helped limit these powers so they don’t have too much power, but have an equal amount. This allowed other branches to have certain powers over each other and help control each branch to prevent from having a tyranny. Powers between small states and large states also helped keep from a tyranny. Between the large and small states representation was equal, both the states had a fair amount of representation to help keep from a tyranny. Federalism helped control each other's governments. Federalism allowed two governments to control each other by limiting their powers. All of these helped limit powers to keep from having a tyranny.

The constitution of the United States defines the separation of powers between the three branches. The Legislative branch has the job to make laws, Executive is to carry out laws and the Judicial branch is to interpret laws. The Federalists paper also cites the evidence of the separation of powers between the 3 branches. The Legislative can over power the chief of the Executive branch by the choice of impeaching the president. The president can over power the Judicial branch by nominating judges. The Supreme court can over power the Legislative branch by declaring laws unconstitutional. This is all stated in (Doc B,C). This is how the branches have equal powers over each other and how not just one branch has too much power of the other
