The United States has a very good government system

The United States has a very good government system.But how did they archive this goal without tyranny? The United States constitution, it was written in 1787 in Philadelphia and it tells how the government is going to work. Besides giving the people an abundance of rights and freedom, it protected the people from another tyranny. The constitution guarded against tyranny in several ways which were by federalism, separation of power and checks and balances.
Federalism makes sure no one group of people has all the power. In document A it says since there are two governments “double security arises to the rights of the people.” Both central and state government has the right to tax and enforce laws. The government will make sure all is divided and will control each other, but still be a separate government. Federalism protects against tyranny because the state and national governments have power so no one will become too powerful.
Another guard against tyranny was separation of powers, which is basically separating power into three branches. “Liberty requires that the three great departments of power should be separate and distinct.” Document B. Tyranny of big states was also protected. Article 1,section 2 House of rep clause 3 says representatives will be assigned proportional representations. The upper house or senate will have two senators per state. With this, it gives the small states a say in decision because if they were both proportional small states would not get a voice and big states would rule.
The powers were separated, but what made them function properly? The only way to make the separation of power work was checks and balances. Basically, each branch would check each other to make sure that they were following the rules. Document C explains how the branches check and balances each other.Both the legislative and executive branches can tell congress that it is being unconstitutional or veto its laws. This guards against tyranny because each branch checks up on each other so no one branch could over power each other.
