Distrust of a single leader with absolute power, a
feeling based on bad experiences under the
constraints of the british monarchy, emerged as
an important theme for the framers of the us
constitution. yet the framers developed a form of
government that includes a central leader, the
president, as the head of the executive branch.
this leader is responsible for carrying out the
actions of government necessary to enact the
laws passed by congress.
in your opinion, how well does the constitution
strike a balance of authority among the three
branches of government? explain your view
