In May 1787 55 individuals went to Philadelphia to respond to the call for a Constitutional Convention. They met to fix The Articles of Confederation. The Articles of Confederation was the current system of government that did not work out so well. It did not have a court system and any ruler could be a tyrant, with The Article of Confederation. There are 3 different types of tyranny. One is a ruler takes all power for him or herself, another one is when several generals or religious leaders seize control, and another is tyranny by many as when the majority denies rights to a minority. Tyranny means the accumulation of all powers. Again, how does the constitution guard against<a data-href=/writing/document/0F1DDA4A21E237AD 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>Each branch has their own separate power limiting the other branches. According to James Madison, “In the compound republic of America, the power surrendered by the people is first divided between two distinct governments, and the portion allotted to each subdivided among distinct and separate departments. Hence a double security arises to the rights of the people. The different governments will control each other, at the same time each will be controlled by itself.”(James Madison, Federalists Paper #51, 1788) Also, “Madison’s idea of division of power between central and state governments is known as Federalism.”(Document A) The idea of Federalism is to divide the powers between the branches. The specific power divisions of the three branches of government are. The Executive, Judicial, and Legislative branches. That is how Federalism guards against<a data-href=/writing/document/0F1DDA4A21E237AD 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'>It guards against tyranny with Federalism, <a href='/topics/separation-of-powers' style='color:#3174a3'>separation of powers</a>, checks and balances and big state small states compromise. Federalism limits the amount of powers a branch can have. Separation of powers spreads out the powers between the branches. Checks and balances ensures each branch can check on each other, and the big state small state compromise guarantees the small states and the large states would not overrule and have too much power as a result of its larger population would not get their say.

Whatever the size or shape, tyranny is a problem because it means too much power in the hands of one person or group. In 1787, Representatives from almost all the states in the U.S, met in Philadelphia to fix the issue of tyranny. The House presents us to “The Articles of Confederation” to help guard against tyranny. The Constitution guarded against tyranny in ways such as having the federalism, separation of powers, checks and balances, and the large and small states both treated equally.</p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative show-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col"><ul><li>813 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/How-Does-the-Constitution-Guard-Against-Tyranny-PKJ82G6JTJ">Read More</a></div></div></li><li id="related-essay2"><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/Constitution-Guards-Against-Tyranny-Dbq-PCCJWJ4KYDT" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Constitution Guards Against Tyranny Dbq</h2></a><ul><li>997 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/Constitution-Guards-Against-Tyranny-Dbq-PCCJWJ4KYDT" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Constitution Guards Against Tyranny Dbq</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after">Monsters are everywhere, always lurking in the shadows.

This isn’t a fairytale where everyone lives happily ever after but a nightmare. In Philadelphia somewhere in May 1787 delegates from all over the states arrived to have the constitutional convention. Here the constitution was born and this historical document is still in play today. The constitution is a written plan that provides the basic framework of a government and the delegates are people sent to represent their state. It was finally ratified by all 13 states in 1889-90.

Tyranny in question is when too big a level of power is placed in one’s hands, and they use it unfairly. The Constitution guarded against tyranny by including there being three branches, federalism, and checks and balances in the structure of government.
