Most of the time, citizens are fearful of tyrannical leaders and it was something even our founding fathers feared. In order to avoid that fate; they set up a constitution that would prevent that from happening. How does the constitution guard against tyranny? The <a href='/topics/united-states' style='color:#3174a3'>United States</a> constitution guards its citizens from tyranny by using: checks and balances (1), shared powers between federal and state governments(2), and bi-cameral legislature (3). <br /> The United States guards against tyranny by creating a system of checks and balances. The system of checks balances made sure that no one branch of government had more power than another. The executive branch has the power to nominate judges for the judicial branch; while the judicial branch can declare presidential acts unconstitutional. The judicial branch can check on the legislative branch by declaring laws unconstitutional.

Powers that the Federal Government and State government share would be: the ability to collect taxes, borrow money, set up a court system, make and enforce laws. These powers are called concurrent powers. The powers given to the states are called reserved powers and include, but are not limited to: the ability to hold elections, establish schools, and regulate in-state businesses. The central government has enumerated powers and has the ability to: regulate trade, declare war, set up post offices, and more.

This excerpt is about how the three branches should be divided and arranged into several offices, so that they have the opportunity to check on each other’s powers. According to Doc C, “...(The three branches) should not be so far separated as to have no Constitutional control over each other.” James Madison, provides an explanation that if all citizens wanted liberty in this country, the three branches would need to be separated: the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial branches. The Legislative branch can impeach the president and the judges from the Judicial Branch. The Executive Branch can nominate judges and veto Congressional legislation.

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. </p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative show-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col"><ul><li>551 Words</li><li>3 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-Essay-1838BB54FCD5C39F">Read More</a></div></div></li><li id="related-essay9"><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/Separation-Of-Powers-Dbq-Essay-DB4144D68DF62594" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Separation Of Powers Dbq Essay</h2></a><ul><li>620 Words</li><li>3 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/Separation-Of-Powers-Dbq-Essay-DB4144D68DF62594" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Separation Of Powers Dbq Essay</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after">Before the constitution, there were queens, kings, dictators and other tyrants with too much power.

How did the United States accomplish this? After the Revolutionary War, the Founding Fathers decided to construct a government that was of the people, by the people, and for the people. By doing so, they needed to prevent the more than likely possibility of overbearing power falling into the hands of one or a few people, in other words a prevention of tyranny was needed (1769). This structure was stated in the Constitution, a written document that framed our American government, and so the Constitution declared four ways to prevent tyranny: Federalism, Separation of Power, Checks and Balances, and the Great compromise.</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-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-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/The-Constitution-Guard-Against-Tyranny-FJCAKJUYXV" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">The Constitution Guard Against Tyranny</h2></a><ul><li>114 Words</li><li>1 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/The-Constitution-Guard-Against-Tyranny-FJCAKJUYXV" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">The Constitution Guard Against Tyranny</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after">In 1776, America became a country after it separated from England. Americans didn’t like England because they had a tyrant for a king. A tyrant is a person or group of people who abuses power when they have too much of it. The Articles of Confederation were the first constitution but it was weak and lacked any power over the people because they feared another tyrant. So, in 1787, 55 educated wealthy men from 12 states met in Philadelphia to make a new plan of government. This new plan of government was later known as the Constitution.

In the end, they decided to make a whole new constitution, a written government plan, that could hold our states together and protect us from tyranny. As we had just recently freed ourselves from a situation of tyranny by one with King George III, it wasn't a scenario that we wanted to repeat itself. The job was to frame, or structure, a brand new plan that could do this. The Constitution still continues to protect us because it was a strong document with a strong plan.
