James Madison “father of the Constitution” said, “The accumulation (gathering) of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, may justly (fairly) be pronounced the very definition of tyranny (oppression).”

Separation of Powers The government is divided into three branches: Legislative Makes laws Congress Executive Enforces laws President Judicial Interprets laws Supreme Court A bicameral Congress = divided into two “houses”: the Senate and the House of Representatives Each branch has certain jobs and responsibilities that are different from the other branches

Powers of the 3 Branches Graphic Organizer LEGISLATIVE: find 5 items Article I, Section 8 (p. 47 & 48) EXECUTIVE: find 2 items Article II, Sections 2 and 3 (p.48) JUDICIAL: find 3 items Article III (p.48)
