Constitution 101
The Federal Government
The third level of Government under the Constitution is the federal. The aim of that federal was to A; Deal with foreign national governments so the the USA would speak with one voice and not be subject to the old divide and conguer and B. To settle disputes between the states. It is becouse that federal government would be or could be both powerful to a degree separate from the local people that the system of checks and balances and in my opinion that the Bill of Rights was added and you will NOTE that the Bill of Rights, LIMITS the power of the Fed AND the BORs ( Hey if they could not trust the king's and parliament's spoken word..well) is written down. They knew that there would be disputes between the states..Example: Over the western land and if there was not some way to settle them fairly? Civil war? and if the union broke apart, well England ..France..and Spain was still out there.
Tomorrow: The Ideal behind the Constitution.
