Theories Influencing The Separation Of Political Parties

Theories that influenced the adoption of separation of powers, checks and balances, and federalism are the Pluralist Theory, the Elite and Class Theory, and Hyperpluralism. The Pluralist Theory is the theory in which politics is mainly a competition among groups with the same interest. Each of the groups can compete with one another for control over policy. The Pluralist Theory seems to be saying that it is preferable to have interest groups in competition like that. If interest groups are in competition to influence policies, it gives delegates more options than just one. If there was only one interest group, it could persuade a whole branch of government and take control over it. This theory can also mean that interests groups are working
It was adopted by the delegates that created a bicameral legislature. The Senate would have 2 members from each state and the House of Representatives would have representation based on a state’s population. The ⅗ compromise was adopted in order to satisfy Southern states on the issue of population for representation. The Southern states are slaveholders so it would mean that the Northern states would less population in comparison, therefore having less representation as well. The ⅗ compromise states that representation and taxation was based on the number of free people plus ⅗ the number of the “other people”. The Commerce and Slave Trade Compromise was adopted because Southerners feared Congress would side with the Northern states and interfere with its slave trade. This compromise addressed the South’s concerns and denied Congress the power to tax the export goods of any states. This also gave the president the power to make treaties with other countries as long as ⅔ of Senate approved. Compromise is important in a representative government in order to keep all states happy. A compromise not only benefits one state or individual, but it also benefits other states and the government. Through a compromise, the government earns more power and public respect. For example, the ⅗ Compromise not only satisfied the Southern states, but the North was also satisfied because the

The whole Bill of Rights, not just the first 10 Amendments, show the entire evolution of the nation and the thinking of man. For example, the 18th Amendment of prohibited alcohol was eventually replaced by the 21st Amendment in which the 18th was replaced. These “protected” rights sometimes cause trouble and people do not like that. The government is most likely to be the one who protects and defends the Bill of Rights. They will do what they need to do in order to keep the public happy. Even though people like the fact that the Bill of Rights was made just for them, many of them are the ones who are most likely to violate those rights. Someone may want to change the previous rights written on there once an issue directly affects them. For example, the 2nd Amendment. The 2nd states that citizens have the right to bear arms. In this time and age it is most likely to be overwritten by another amendment because the public feels unsafe after all these years. Many are trying to overwrite this amendment to reduce crimes and death rates as well. Also, when the 18th Amendment was out into the Bill of Rights, many people violated it. The government knew what was happening and eventually put out the 21st Amendment because they could not control the situation
