Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Human nature. Being some of the more affluent & powerful people of their time, they often didn't trust each other. The government they crafted was a collection of compromises between those who wanted it all, and those who knew they shouldn't have it. The checks & balances they established have been upset in recent years. You could probably light up the eastern seaboard with the power created by the latter group spinning in their graves. They trusted us to maintain the status quo.

How did the Enlightenment affect the development of the government of the US?
The Enlightenment profoundly influenced the development of the U.S. government by promoting ideas such as individual rights, liberty, and the separation of powers. Thinkers like John Locke and Montesquieu inspired the Founding Fathers to create a system based on checks and balances, ensuring no single branch would wield excessive power. Additionally, the emphasis on reason and empirical evidence encouraged the establishment of a democratic framework that valued the consent of the governed. These principles laid the groundwork for the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, shaping the nation’s democratic ideals.

Why Were The Founding Fathers Suspicious Of Strong Central Government?
Who wouldn't be? :) When the founders wrote the constitution, much of it was a direct reflection of abuses by the British, which showed them how damaging a strong central government could be to personal liberty. They had a different (and might I say Superior) plan on how to set up enough of a government to maintain a nation. WIth many reasons why the Founding Fathers were suspicious of a strong centralized government, the most concern was the depletion of individual freedom. Powers wouldn't be separated in a strong central government. An elite group would be formed and they would possibly use their government positions for selfish reasons. Not all were. Alexander Hamilton is probably the best-known among the Founding Fathers for wanting to establish a powerful, centralized federal government. Having not been born in the U.S., he failed to understand the allegiances people held to their home states -- his allegiance was with the union as a whole. But most of the Founders were wary of a powerful government, for the very reason that they had just fought off a powerful government in Britain and were determined not to have the same thing happen here, as they set out to establish a new, representative government of their own.
All the bills raising revenue shall originate in the house of representatives the main reason writers of the constitution include this provision was to?

What was the purpouse of freedom of speech?
The reason it was incorporated into the U.S Constitution was so citizens may express their political opinions without being silenced by the government. England made it a point to silence the opinions that opposed the government's, which made the colonists feel as if they were not represented by the English government. The founding fathers wanted to make sure that all Americans could have their opinions heard, so they created the First Amendment.

How did deism affect colonial America?
Deism had a significant influence on colonial America. Many of the Founding Fathers were deists, which shaped their views on government and individual rights. Deism emphasized reason and natural law, leading to a belief in the importance of religious freedom, separation of church and state, and the idea that government exists to protect the rights of individuals. Deism also challenged traditional religious authority, leading to a more critical and rational approach to religion among some colonists.
