How does the u. s. constitution prevent a president from becoming a tyrant?

Hello!

The constitution prevents a president from becoming a tyrant through the separation of powers. The government is separated into three branches:

- The executive branch (the president)

- The legislative branch (the house and the senate)

- The judicial branch (judges and courts)

A political decision cannot be made without the approval of another branch. The legislative and judicial branches balance out the executive branch, preventing the executive branch (the president) from taking over and becoming tyranical. The executive branch also balances out the other two branches and prevents them from taking over.

I hope this helps you! Have a lovely day!
