Federalism is the Division of power between National government down to state government which would be local. Federalism was included so that states could have the freedom to run themselves. The national government has powers the state governmens don't have such as declaring war or making currency for the us nation. Also the State governments have powers that the national government doesnt not have such as cast elections or  establish local governments.
There are also powers that they both share and can both do. Some of these powers include collecting taxes, creating and enforcing laws, or build roads.

Checks and balances is the balancing in power ensuring that not too much power is in a group or organization. The Founding fathers included this system so that there would not be powerful ruler like the one they previously had which was King George III. This system also works on the Branches of Government because each branch can check on each other and determine if they are getting too much power. For example if the president vetoes a law passed by congress, the congress can override the veto with 2/3 of both houses.

When running the us and creating new laws, the three branches of government is always included. The first branch is the Legislative branch which is in charge of creating laws. The main leaders are Congress, senate, and the house of Representatives which are chosen by vote and election. They serve a six year term and must be 25 years old or older, and must be a us citizen for 7 years and must live in the place they represent. The second branch, the Executive branch which carries out the laws and enforces them.
The main leaders are President, Vice president, then the cabinet chosen by presidential election since the president is the head of the executive branch. and serve a 4 year term and can get reelected for another 4 year term, and must be atleast 35 years old, natural born us citizen, and must live 14 years or more in the us. The third branch of government is the Judicial Branch which evaluates laws and determines if an act was legal or illegal. The main leader is the Supreme court. The leaders get chosen by nomination by the president. They can serve for life until death and must be less than 70 years old and must be a us citizen

To choose a president, first you must vote for a group of people to represent you which is called the Electoral College. Then you cast votes which who ever gets the most votes (between candidates) gets voted on. The bigger the statess, the more electoral votes they have and the smaller the state, the less electoral votes they have. Then which ever candidate reaches 270 electoral votes out of 538 is sure to win.
Here is the map how many Electoral votes in each state

The three-fifths compromise was an argument between the northern and southern states and whether slaves should be counted in population. The northern states wanted to count slaves for taxes since they didn't rereally have many slaves there meanwhile the south had lots of slaves and didn't want to be overpowered by the south. The Southern states wannted to count the slaves for population to get more representation in congress but they also did not want to count them as property. This was a problem which was then solved by the 3/5 compromise. This compromise was introduced by James Wilson and Roger Sherman. This compromise counted slaves as 3/5 of a person and that they should be counted as population and taxes.

There were a few compromises which solved many problems after the Articles of Confederation. An event called The Great Compromise occurred in 1787. The Great Compromise included many plans to being solutions to some problems. The new Jersey Plan was an argument with the larger states. Small states wanted all the states to get 1 vote in congress and not being based on the state's population. The large states didn't like this plan so they opposed. But another plan arose by the the larger states which was called the Virginia plan. This plan was a proposal to as how they would run the us. This plan was representation based on population. The  smaller states disliked this idea since they knew the smaller states would be less in population. The connecticut plan was another plan where the large and small states agreed and this plan was about each state having 2 representatives in the upper house because it was also bicameral

The Articles of confederation was the first form of government of the early us nation. They did this after separating from Great Britain After the revolutionary war. The Main cause for these articles to be ratified was because of a weak national government and from not being able to pay off the war debts frrom the American Revolution. Due to the Articles of Confederation, the small and large states got equal power in congress.

Under the Articles of confederation, there were a few strenghts and weaknesses. A law passed in 1787 called the Northwest Ordinance was a strength. It was a strength because it solved many issues about the northern territory. Alongside the strengths, there were a few weaknesses.  One of them was an event off a rebellion off farmers called Shays Rebellion which was led by Daniel Shays. This event was caused by tax collections from debt which a bunch of farmers were living through. This event had no major impact on the society back then.
