Modern slavery is a group of words that most Americans might not be familiar with. Millions of people assume that slavery ended with the African slave trade, and the Emancipation Proclamation, but there is a lot of information that people are blind to.

These were the disadvantages of colored people. Not being able to live a great life and having the same rights as white people, and not being able to become something important in life.…

Separation of powers is a concept outlined within the first three articles of the United States Constitution.

However, after further research, it is blatantly apparent that one branch’s power supersedes the others. The Legislative branch’s powers stem into areas that overlap the judicial and executive branch.…
