The framers of the Constitution sought to limit executive power to prevent the emergence of a tyrannical leader, reminiscent of the monarchy they had fought against during the American Revolution. They established a system of checks and balances by distributing authority among the three branches of government: executive, legislative, and judicial. This framework ensured that no single branch could dominate, with specific powers and responsibilities assigned to each, thus promoting accountability and safeguarding individual liberties. Additionally, mechanisms like impeachment and the Senate's role in confirming appointments further constrained executive authority.
