how did the Constitution guard against tyranny overview in the summer of 1787 55 delegates represent 12 of the 13 states met in Philadelphia to fix the national government the problem was that the existing government under the Articles of Confederation just wasn't doing the job it was too weak the challenge was to create a strong central government without letting any one person or group of people get to watch power  documentary movie analyzing  document a federalism the separation of powers see checks and balances and Dee big State vs. small state  before we began doing the document analysis you will begin doing the X price hook  directions when will use the word tyranny will usually mean a government with an absolute ruler like a king or dictator the writers of the Constitution were determined not to let such a person give control of the new American government however there are other kinds of tyranny that concern for one group might have too much power over another with the partner Give an example how each kind of type Journey list of below could be harmful to the people of the United States  question number 1 tyranny of individual states over the central government  what if states have the power to ignore a federal tax law they did not like for example the state of California refuse to pay the tax that the government sets what do you think it could do what will probably take a few minutes to answer this question  question number to tyranny of the executive what if there was no legislative branch and the president have the power to both make laws and enforce laws do you remember the legislative branch is the branch that creates the laws and the president who belongs to the executive branch is the one that can either accept the law or veto the law so imagine that there was no legislative branch and the president was the one that was in charge of making Lawson forcing them what do you think the problem could be  take a few minutes to answer this question question number 3  Tyranny of the president over judicial branch what if the president could fire justices of the Supreme Court if didn't like a ruling they made if you remember the president is the one that assigns the justices  but the ledge little branch  is the only branch that can fire a Justice well let's take for consideration that the legend NetBranch didn't have to fire them in the present was in charge of it but the only reason he's firing them is because he didn't like a ruling or a law that they so what could be the problem take a few minutes to write this answer  question number 4  Journey effects over little States what if New York had a lot more members than Rhode Island in both the Senate and the House of Representatives so New York happens to be a very populated state which means that they would have to have more Senate and House of Representatives in Rhode Island is a smaller state so maybe the population is a lot smaller which means they should have less members of Senate and House Representative play remember all states regardless of the population have the same amount of Senate and House of Representatives so how would this create a problem take a few minutes to answer this question
