how come you wont answer my questin????
the american experience
Only in the US.
The separation of powers have to do with the writers of the constitution's concern for making one person the most powerful in the new government.
The American writers of the Constitution were able to use the earlier experiences of the American people. This was because by this time, they knew what they needed to include in the Constitution in order to protect the basic rights of Americans. Trial and error had lead the writers to the conclusion that the earlier experiences that had had not had the best of outcomes. Earlier experiences resulted in conflicts such as chaos, massacres, wars, and the overall upheaval of the so called "American" government. Had the writers not heeded their country's past failures, America may still have been, in our age, still facing the same issues and troubles that they had faced in the 1700's during the Revolutionary War.
