Critics argue that the government proposed by the U.S. Constitution could lead to a concentration of power, particularly in the executive branch, which may threaten individual liberties and democratic principles. The presidency, with its significant authority over foreign policy, military, and executive orders, is often seen as the most dangerous branch due to its potential for overreach. Additionally, the lack of clear checks and balances can lead to abuses of power. Thus, while the Constitution aims to distribute power, the potential for imbalance remains a concern.
