The writers of the Constitution of the United States made the branch of government they considered the most important in the first article.

Likewise the second most important is in the second article and the third most important is in the third article.

In the years before the revolutionary war, many people had been convicted and killed by secret trials. They know courts were necessary but must be controlled and could not be totally in charge.

Also before the Revolutionary War, local governors had been able to wreck havoc on local populations. The framers feared unbridled powers in one person.

Only their local assemblies with the power of the purse had been able to provide a check on the local terror.
