Executive (President is considered the "head")
Legislative (Senate and House of Representatives)
Judicial (Supreme Court and other courts)
They have the power to check or restrain acts of each other.
It may be called a Presidential Democracy]]> 2016-08-23 00:11:55 UTC https://padlet.com/maitheinacio/american/wish/119272529 maitheinacio https://padlet.com/maitheinacio/american/wish/119273898 After the ratification, the New Congress proposed 12 amendments to the Constitution.
10 were approved and became known as The Bill of Rights.
They guarantee freedom of religion, speech, press, petition and assembly.
= It gave the RIGHT for americans to have guns
To be protected against unreasonable searches and arrests
Trial by jury and protection of property rights

A new age and a better world could be achieved with those ideas.

That was repealed in 1766, because of opposition and  violence.
Then the Colonies organized the First Continental Congress (Philadelphia, September 1774), members urged the colonists to take up arms and organize militias.
But a fight between colonists and the British Army just started at April 1775 in Massachusetts, then the Second Continental Congress happened and there was created the Continental Army, commanded by George Washington.
On July 4, 1776 that same congress approved the Declaration of Independence (written by Thomas Jefferson) and the American Revolution had just begun.]]> 2016-08-23 01:43:36 UTC https://padlet.com/maitheinacio/american/wish/119281221 rikigt01 https://padlet.com/maitheinacio/american/wish/119282624 French suplied arms to defend the colonies from british atacks.
