Question #2 - Text #3
3 most important ideas:
-James Madison stated that "Leglislative, Executive and Judiciary departments should be seperate and distinct, so that no person should exercise the powers of more than one of them at the same time."
-Powers of the government should be so divided and balanced among several bodies of magistracy as that no one could transcend their legal limits without being effectually checked and restrained by th others.
-It is equally evident, that neither of them ought to possess directly or indirectly, an overruling influence over the others in the administration of their respective powers.
2 connections to the unit question:
-Agreeing with James Madison by saying the Legislative branch did abuse its power because the Constitution had been flagrantly violated by the Legislature in a variety of important instances.
- Also agreeing that the Legislative branch derives a superiority in our government from other circumstances.
1 question you still have:
-How did the make it so that all 3 branches of government were equal?
