The problem with kings is that you never know how the next one is going to turn out and you live with that for perhaps 50 years or civil war..
The Constitution is based on the sound principle that people are in general power mad and greedy!
So the whole system is set up to use human nature to balance human nature.
The President can check the congress..and Congress can check the President and even if it is not in my view constitutional, the courts have by tradition the power to declare a law unconstitutional and even suggest remedy ( make law from the bench) Plus the American jury can make any law null and void by simply refusing to convict..
All this and a lot more is done to keep the awesome power of the state in check.
HW...Why not just trust in the noble newman?
Tomorrow the need for government.
