How did central government receive money?
other states
Does any government employee make more than president'?
No- not from a government salary. Some may earn a higher total from other sources of income.
Why was it decided that the president and other elected government officials would receive a lifetime salary even after they were no longer in office?
Many former Presidents and government officials have worked for charity, as ambassadors, and in other useful roles. The government would like to support people who have already contributed to the United States so that they can continue to do so. People used to be able to get a much higher paying job in industry than the government so the government offered lucrative perks to recruit good people to government employment.
Which principle split the power of the government into three branches?
Separation of powers. The idea was that government cannot be completely trusted, so each branch of the government was given the authority and the responsibility to act as a check against the other two.
Are the taxes paid by the Filipino citizens commensurate to the services and programs they receive from their government?
Probably not, Taxes are normally also used to help the poor (who do not pay tax). So taxes are also supporting the services other citizens get from their government.
