Gorbachev declared that all countries had a right to decide what kind of political and economic system they wanted.

(My History teacher gave me this same question too LOL)

(But I really hope that my answer helps you!)

Answer- Gorbachev declared that all countries had a right to decide what kind of political and economic system they wanted. Given the status of the Soviet republics, the reason why this declaration is significant is because, it proclaimed the sovereignty of the Russian SFSR and the intention to establish a democratic constitutional state within a liberalized Soviet Union. The republics responded by taking advantage of their new freedoms. Therefore The groups and states began to call for sovereignty and secession from the soviet union.

1) checks and balances- this idea is implemented in the constitution to ensure that no one branch of the federal government gains too much power. for example, the legislative branch(congress) can approve a bill that will then be sent to the executive branch (president). if the president does not like the bill or thinks that it violates the rights of citizens, he/she can veto the bill. vetoing the bill stops the bill from becoming a law. this check on power ensures that congress makes laws that do not violate the rights of citizens.

2) anti-federalists do not want to ratify the constitution unless it includes a bill of rights. the anti-federalists are worried that the constitution gives too much power to the federal government. having a strong central government caused problems when the us was still part of great britain. this is why the anti-federalists are fearful of this type of system.

3) federalists want a new constitution passed because it will fix america's weak political structure. before the us constitution is implemented, the constitution being used is known as the articles of confederation. this constitution has an extremely weak central government, allowing for disunity among the states.

can't do the whole thing, hope this
