By having a federalist government, the state and federal governments can stay in check and keep the power balanced by sharing important powers and making decisions based on what the other thinks. This protected against tyranny.

If the legislative, excecutive, and judicial branch all were under one power, tyranny would arise. Separation of powers allows there to be a fair government system, in which all branches are divided and have seperate control.

By dividing powers of government into three different branches, we can ensure that no two hands have access to more then one branch of government. (this might lead the country into a tyrannic leadership) As the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial branches work together as a collective unit, people are granted a democratic country, free of any dictatorship.

James Madison states, “Hence a double security arises the rights of the people.” This indicates that the state and federal government is a compound government. This means the government is not a tyranny because in a federal and state government they share powers between each other.

In the  first source by James Madison, excerpt from the Federalist Paper #47, he states, “of all powers, legislative, executive, and judicial, in the same hands....may be justly pronounced the very definition of tyranny”which illustrated, that to guard from tyranny, all of the  3 branches would have to be separated and given there own responsibility. Thus, leads  to checks and balances.

The constitution guarded against tyranny by dividing all the offices in a way that there may be a “check” on each other. This balances the government by not giving one branch of government to much power. If they were separated, they would have no control constitutionally over each other.

By using federalism in their government they were guarding against tyranny because they were dividing the power and didn't give power to just one group or person

In Document A, a chart is given to us. That chart represents how the two types of government, central and state, have different powers and ideas. By having variety in ruling/ ideas, the constitution can guard against tyranny since there are “double security” for the people, which also represents federalism. The two charts show that there isn't just one big government like tyranny, yet several ideas within the states to create one big idea, for the constitution to prevent tyranny. It keeps balance in the government to prevent tyranny from happening.

Creating a federalist government guards against tyranny by balancing power between the central and state governments, and allowing the state governments to have power and rights through creating laws about their own states.  Having central government power, state power, and shared powerassures that one group doesn’t gain to much control, while still allowing for a stable government. This is shown when James Madison says, “first divided between two distinct governments [state and federal] (...) hence a double security arises to the rights of the people.”(doc. A; source: James Madison, Federalist Paper #51, 1778)

The framers of the constitution made sure that no one branch of government was too powerful and they also made a system for them to check each other so they didn’t over power eachother .

The framers of the Constitution created checks and balances to make sure the government doesn’t fall into tyranny. With the checks and balances, one branch of government can’t make amendments without the approval of the other two branches.

The separation of powers divides the government into three branches. This makes a bunch of people work together to from one government. If one person is voted into two branches, let’s say the Legislative and the Judical, they would have to choose one. If one person had that much power it might make the United States go into a Tyrannical government.

The 3 branches were separate but worked as a team. They prevented tyranny by giving each branch power to keep the other branches in line so they wouldn't get to much power.

The quote mainly shows that the separation of powers guarded against tyranny because each branch had a different power. For example, the judicial branch was the Supreme Court, which held offices during good behavior.

Forming a federalist government prevents tyranny since power is balanced between the central and state governments. Giving the states power helps defend against tyranny because if the central government had total power, they could form a tyranny. Since the state governments have power too, there can be a balanced government, while also preventing one group from gaining supreme power over everyone else.

The goverment was divided between 3 distinct branches. The branches needed to be distinct but no too distinct soo they don't work together. The power was separated and each branch could check each other kind of like a group project. This was known as checks and balances. For example the executive branch can veto a congressional legislation but the judicial branch can declare presidential acts unconstitutional. The power went around in a circle inshoring the power was shared by each branch and no one branch could have all the power.

Having a federalist government, it protects against tyranny and how they divided the government protected the amount of power given to one or more people. This helps as it divides the power so one government wouldn’t be able to rule all , but instead share power to keep safety against tyranny.

By having a Federal government, the state/federal government can keep powers even. They also share ideas.

In the legislative branch they made 2 houses the House of Representatives and the Senate. The House determines the number of representatives by population and the senate gives each state 2 representatives. Both houses have to agree to pass a law. So this stops one house becoming more powerful than the other.

Federalism guards against tyranny by having equal power between the compound governments. This ensures the people that no one group or person will rise above the rest and take over.

The government made each branch able to check eachother  so that no one branch could have full power in what they  made. This made it so that the 3 branch’s were able to check each other so that no one branch had full power which would result in tyranny.

The system of checks and balances prevents against tyranny because it doesn’t allow one branch of government to have too much power. It also prevents one brach to become corrupted and make unfair decisions because the other branches won’t allow it. Finally, it makes sure that all of the branches stay in line and don’t get corrupted.

The separation of powers guarded against tyranny by allowing the three branches to help each other out. If there wasn't a separation of power, there would be a tyranny because the power would go to one group or person. So, the power was divided and shared among the three branches in order for one not to become to powerful. (Checks and Balances.)

In a federal government, the central and state governments support each other, but they have certain powers the other doesn't have. In this way, the system guards against tyranny, so neither of the governments have too much power.

The framers made sure that not one branch has too much power and that they must depend on one another. That way not one branch can do too much without the other two branches.

Federico guard said against tyranny as it separates the power between the national government and state government. If one of the them tries to get too strong one of them can just shut it down.

The seperation of powers guards against tyranny by not giving each of the branches too much power but giving them each an equal amount. Also it doesn’t let two of the branches overlap because then it would be an unbalanced government.

By having a Federal government, all three branches divide power equally to eachother so no one branch would have to much ruling power over the other two, this goes against tyranny considering all three branches are concluded to equal

If the three branches of government worked on their own, with no supervision or contact, then the government would be chaotic. The system of checks and balances is needed it defend a tyranny from rising. This system ensures that each branch is acting constitutionally, and no branch is gaining too much power or revolting. Without checks and balances, a tyranny would form.

Because of having a federal government it kept all powers equal among the over governments which helped guard against tyranny.

The framers of the Constitution guarded against tyranny by seperating the government into three branches that remain relatively tied together in a way where they can check and balance eachother. This ensures that no one group can take advantage of the powers granted to them.
