Question

a. the national governments powers are too broad and poorly defined and the powers of the individual states are left unclear.
b. the president serves a four - year term and can be removed from office through the impeachment process. in addition, congress and the judiciary are given powers which allow them to check and balance the presidents actions. thus, the president will not be like a monarch.
c. the rights of the people, such as freedom of assembly, speech, press and religion must be specifically enumerated (listed).
d. the judiciary will be the least dangerous branch of the government because it will have neither the power of the purse nor the power of the sword, the judges can be removed from office through the impeachment process.
e. in a small republic such as the individual state, one group can dominate government and take action to benefit only that group. in a large extended republic it will be difficult for one group to control, and thus the public good will be protected.
f. the national government is limited to only those powers granted to it. all powers not delegated to it remain in the hands of the individual states.
g. a judiciary, chosen for life with undefined power, will be a serious threat to the liberty of the people.
h. the public good can best be secured and protected in small republics such as individual states.
i. a president, chosen by an electoral college with broadly states powers, who can serve for an unlimited time, looks too much like a monarch.
j. the government is not given the power to pass laws involving freedom of assembly, speech, press, religion, etc., and thus will not have the power to do so. furthermore, listing the rights of the people could be dangerous since making this list could omit some rights.
