Why was a government with three branches considered a compromise?

Answer 1

Roger Sherman (around 1787) suggested that congress be made out of not one but two parts called houses one of the houses would be the "senate" and the other would be the repersentives

Long story short:people would have Pacific places to complain to

Answer 2

It was a compromise because 1 branch could "check" the other if the other branch agrees.

Example: Executive branch says, "All houses must be painted red!" The Judicial branch can say, "No!" if the Legislative branch says, "No!" too. That way, the Executive branch is "checked". It can be the other way around, too.

Answer 3

James Madison, the one largely responsible for authoring the Constitution, based the three branches of our government partially off of the following verse from The Bible:

"For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; he will save us" (Isaiah 33:22, KJV).

Thus, it can be seen that this verse references the judicial ("judge"), legislative ("lawgiver"), and executive ("king") aspects of the government.

It was also based on the writings of the philosopher Montesquieu, who promoted the same idea.

Separation of powers was promoted in the hopes of avoiding tyranny. If the power was divided among three branches of government, which each had unique powers, then power would not be concentrated entirely in one place, and thus would be less likely to tyrannize the people Separation of powers is closely tied to the idea of checks and balances: each branch is able to check the power of the others, so that if one steps beyond its constitutional limits or attempts to abuse the people, it can be stopped by the other branches.
