Is the senate the most powerful in the political institution under the us first constitution?
All three branches of government were designed to have equal power through a system of checks and balances between the three branches.
True or false - Under the US Constitution the federal government has four main branches?
False
What would happen if any of the three government branches executive judicial or legislative were to greatly exceed its authority under the Constitution?
There would be abuse of power and corruption at all levels. The three branches of government have been designed and created to keep the "check and balances" system in place, exactly to prevent abuse and corruption from happening.
Was all three branches of the government in place when the constitution was signed?
None of the branches of government as they now exist were in place at the time the Constitution was signed. When it was "signed", if that means approved by the Constitutional Convention and sent to the states for ratification. Until the Constitution was actually ratified by the requisite number of states, they continued to operate under the prior Articles of Confederation. Congress was a single house body. There was no President and no federal judiciary.
How does the Constitution divide power between the three branches?
The constitution divides up the power between the three branches with checks and balances! Each branch of government get its own powers and has checks on the other. This way the power of the branches are balanced. This system is called Checks and Balances. They use this system so one branch doesn't get more powerful than another. They didn't want America to be in the situation it was in when it was under the control of great Britain where on branch of the government got too powerful!
