Constitution Paper
The Constitution fixed the weaknesses by allowing the central government, certain power and rights. When these laws became the law of the land, in The United States, lawmakers now has the right to levy taxes. Congress was able to regulate trade between states and other countries. When the creation of the federal court system. The Executive branch with power of checks and balances, for legislative and judiciary amendments are easier by being ratified if two thirds of congress and three quarters of the house pass it.
Representation in house was based on populations, while senate is equal to all other states. The original documents were sent to III of the United Kingdom in 1776 by way of sea, he was known for his short fuse and upon receiving the letter he destroyed it. There was a copy of this same letter it is kept safely, in the Washington D.C. underground chamber. This very important piece of history changed the world and politics, for quartering massive amounts of troops among us: Amendment 3 plus the prohibition against using military troops to enforce civilian laws. 2. for levying taxes on us without our consent: article 7, section 8, clause 1; article II, section 9 clause 4. This was primarily about taxation without representation.3. For depriving us in many causes of the benefits of trial by jury.
The great compromise and how representation of states in congress is determined, this was an important way that congress envisioned a way to maintain the growth of states and to make sure that certain states did not have more reprentatives than others, their was a lot of bickering to come up with a law that could benefit all parties that are involved, what they finally agreed to after some arguing among themselves was that each state would be representated by two senators and will and a will consist of an variable number of members of the house of representatives. Based on the states population, as officially reported in the most recent decennial census the process of fairly determining the number of ohhicial members of the house from each state this is known as apportionment.
The method of election in the house the united states house of reprentatives, senate, and executive branch, is another form of politics that bounced around through members of the hierarchy, government as a whole should have an iron clad and fair government, they needed to protect individuals freedoms and present government officials from taking advantage of the system and of the people. What they came up with is 3 different and separate branches of government.
The legislative branch is made up of 2 houses of congress the senate and the House of Representatives; they make laws, and write them and debate and come to a conclusion so they can be voted on in congress. The executive branch is governed by the president of the United States which makes laws official. The Vice president is also a member of this branch and the members of the cabinet, the cabinet is usually made up of the heads of the 15 major departments of government, such as the secretary of state, secretary of treasury, defense, attorney general, interior, agriculture, commerce, labor, health and human services, homeland security, housing and urban development, transportation, education, energy, and veterans affairs.
The Judicial Branch is oversees, the court system of the united states through court cases, this branch is responsible for explaining the judicial process and the meaning of the constriction, and the laws that are passed by congress, The supreme is the head judicial branch. These judges are appointed by the president and they are confirmed by the senate, such as 1954 case Brown vs. Board of education (Which made segregation illegal in American schools).
This process is the intuition that officially elects the President and the vice president of our country for 4 years. Even though people think that the election is voted on by the American people the process is a process of elected electors who are picked by a state to state process. These electors are apportioned to the states and to each District of Columbia, but not to the territorial possessions of the United States of America such as Puerto Rico, and Guam this act is usually factored by the number of congressman or woman there are. The amount of electors is 538 based on there being 435 representatives and 10 senators, plus 3 electors from the District of Columbia.
These electors are used to pledge to certain presidential and vice presidential candidates, but there could also remain unpledged electors in this process. In all states, except Maine and Nebraska, these electors picked on a highest count wins all, and who ever has the most pledged electors for president wins with the majority vote.
The treatment of slaves for the purpose of representation and the effects thereof is mind boggling, if we read our history books we realize that majority wanted the slaves to be considered as second citizens or even worst they wanted them to be the equilvent to there farm animals , its only when politicians had secret motives did they want to count the slaves, and even then they wanted to count the slaves, they wanted them to be counted as 3/5 of a vote, a way to even more diminish a persons right. What some politics instituted is that the slaves could be used as a vote to make the state seem larger by the count so they could receive more congressman and senators this way they could get an better strong hold on other states, by having more reprensatitives this was greatly frowned upon by the northern politicians, who believed that slaves should not have anything to do with the count.
Bill of rights which was enacted on September 25, 1789, this twelve amendments were passed by the first federal congress, and first two dealing the number of constituents for each party and there salaries, and was not ratified, articles 3-12 as the true bill of rights were the first ten amendments these contained specific guarantees of essential rights and liberties left out in the original document. Also that second amendment proposed that later got shot down did eventually past the house on May 7th 1992 as the 27th amendment.
