The Americans feared tyranny in the government like what they had seen under the rule of King George III. The Constitution was written with specific protections against tyranny as described by James Madison: tyranny is “the accumulation of all powers… in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many”. The Constitution guarded against tyranny by separating powers, allowing the branches to check the other branches, and giving states both equal representation and representation based on population. The first guard against tyranny was the separation of powers between the three branches of federal government and the states which means that each has its own specific powers and the powers not given to the federal government are given to the states. According to document A the federal government can conduct foreign relations, regulate trade, make immigration laws, print money, declare war, and set up post offices. The state and federal governments share the powers to make laws, enforce laws, collect taxes, set up courts, and borrow money. The state governments have the powers to<a data-href=/writing/document/1838BB54FCD5C39F class="document__middle white-space--normal source-serif text-l" rel="nofollow" style="cursor:pointer;white-space: normal;"> <i>…show more content…</i> </a></p></span><span class="document__preview text-l source-serif "><p class='text-ellipsis-after'>According to document C the judicial branch may declare executive or legislative acts unconstitutional, the executive branch may veto legislative acts and appoint members of the supreme court, and the legislative branch may override a veto(with a two thirds majority) and amend the Constitution. The system of checks and balances protects against tyranny because it keeps each branch of government from misusing its powers.

There are three branches of government: Legislative Branch (Congress), Executive Branch (President), and Judicial Branch (The Courts). These three branches work together to check one another to make sure the power is evenly distributed and balanced, hence the name Checks and Balances. The way it works is that the Legislative Branch (Congress) can check the Executive Branch (President) by approving Presidential nominations, being able to override a President’s veto, and can impeach the President, him or her, from office. The Legislative Branch can check the Judicial Branch by having Senate confirm Presidential nominations and by being able to impeach judges and remove them from office. The President can check the Legislative Branch by vetoing Congressional legislation, and can check the Judicial Branch by nominating judges. The Judicial Branch can check the Legislative Branch by declaring laws unconstitutional, and can check the Executive Branch by declaring presidential acts unconstitutional. (Madison FP # 51) All three branches of government work together to make sure no branch is abusing their limited power, by using the system Checks and</p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative show-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col"><ul><li>721 Words</li><li>3 Pages</li><li>2 Works Cited</li></ul></div><div class="columns large-2 show-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="small-12 medium-12 large-1-5 position-relative card-grade-essay-button-col"><a class="button text-m " href="/essay/How-Does-the-Constitution-Protect-the-People-FKASGUSVJ">Read More</a></div></div></li><li id="related-essay11"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-12 card box-shadow card-grade-essay paper no-padding"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 hide-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-satisfactory-essays"><div><span>Satisfactory Essays</span></div></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 position-relative hide-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col padding-left-1-imp"><a href="/essay/Tyranny-Dbq-6B9325972A4C271C" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Tyranny Dbq</h2></a><ul><li>463 Words</li><li>2 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-8 position-relative"><div class="card-grade-essay-preview-col show-for-large"><a href="/essay/Tyranny-Dbq-6B9325972A4C271C" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Tyranny Dbq</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after"> The first method the Constitution protects against tyranny is Federalism. Federalism is a principle of government that splits the government’s power between the central and state. According to Document A, James Madison, in the Federalist Paper, explained that the power the people give to the government is divided into two separate governments-state and central. Which is proof that Federalism helps protect America against tyranny since, instead of having one government with all the power, it is split between the two, and thus preventing the rising of a tyrant.</p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative show-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col"><ul><li>463 Words</li><li>2 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns large-2 show-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-satisfactory-essays"><div><span>Satisfactory Essays</span></div></div><div class="small-12 medium-12 large-1-5 position-relative card-grade-essay-button-col"><a class="button text-m " href="/essay/Tyranny-Dbq-6B9325972A4C271C">Read More</a></div></div></li><li id="related-essay12"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-12 card box-shadow card-grade-essay paper no-padding"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 hide-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 position-relative hide-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col padding-left-1-imp"><a href="/essay/Tyranny-Dbq-D717F0671CAA200E" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Tyranny Dbq</h2></a><ul><li>790 Words</li><li>4 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-8 position-relative"><div class="card-grade-essay-preview-col show-for-large"><a href="/essay/Tyranny-Dbq-D717F0671CAA200E" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Tyranny Dbq</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after">Also, Document C, James Madison Federalist Paper 51, states, “...that they may be a check on the other.... [The three branches] should not be so far separate as to have no constitutional control over each other.” This proves that a government with separate powers shields against tyranny because it allows each branch to have its responsibilities, which will help impact the power separate from the government and the improvement of the people. As the branches help each other, the nation improves and becomes a stronger guard against tyranny. Next, equal power for all states guards against tyranny because there is no fight for who gets less or more power.</p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative show-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col"><ul><li>790 Words</li><li>4 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns large-2 show-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="small-12 medium-12 large-1-5 position-relative card-grade-essay-button-col"><a class="button text-m " href="/essay/Tyranny-Dbq-D717F0671CAA200E">Read More</a></div></div></li><li id="related-essay13"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-12 card box-shadow card-grade-essay paper no-padding"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 hide-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 position-relative hide-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col padding-left-1-imp"><a href="/essay/Dbq-Essay-On-Tyranny-10990ED8AEDF5C5D" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Dbq Essay On Tyranny</h2></a><ul><li>808 Words</li><li>4 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-8 position-relative"><div class="card-grade-essay-preview-col show-for-large"><a href="/essay/Dbq-Essay-On-Tyranny-10990ED8AEDF5C5D" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Dbq Essay On Tyranny</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after">James Madison explains, “...

The task of each representative was to come together to create ideas without letting one person or any one group be in hold of too much power in order for the central government to grow stronger. The constitution had help led by the Articles of Confederation with their influence on not having a court system to make the state force a pay on taxes. The main challenge was to generate a Constitution that would be strong enough to retain possession of power for each state to a minimum so not a single person was the only one to have power or control. The guard on tyranny was supported in 4 ways federalism,separation of powers, checks and balances and small/large state compromises.</p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative show-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col"><ul><li>959 Words</li><li>4 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns large-2 show-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="small-12 medium-12 large-1-5 position-relative card-grade-essay-button-col"><a class="button text-m " href="/essay/Strengths-And-Weaknesses-Of-The-Constitution-FJYJS7JW2RR">Read More</a></div></div></li><li id="related-essay15"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-12 card box-shadow card-grade-essay paper no-padding"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 hide-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 position-relative hide-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col padding-left-1-imp"><a href="/essay/How-Did-the-Constitution-Guard-Against-Tyranny-F3JPCT6CTJ" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">How Did the Constitution Guard Against Tyranny?

Well, thanks to our founding fathers for creating a strong constitution, we don’t have to worry about that. The constitution was written in 1787 in Philadelphia. The problem was that the existing government that was under the Articles Of Confederation wasn’t very successful. Therefore, the fifty-five delegates representing twelve out of the thirteen states came together to tweak our constitution to create a strong government without allowing one person, or group of people to have too much power.
