What document established the division of powers between the states and the federal government?

Answer 1

The constitution created the three branches of government. James Madison wrote the 7 seven articles of it. Article 1 set up the legislative branch or congress.

Article 2 created the judicial branch. Article 3 created the executive branch.

Answer 2

The three branches of government—the legislative, the executive, and the judicial—restrain and stabilize one another through their separated functions. The legislative branch, represented by Congress, must pass bills before they can become law. The executive branch—namely, the president—can veto bills passed by Congress, thus preventing them from becoming law. In turn, by a two-thirds vote, Congress can override the president’s veto. The Supreme Court may invalidate acts of Congress by declaring them contrary to the Constitution of the United States, but Congress can change the Constitution through the amendment process.

Answer 3

Thomas Jefferson and the other founding fathers I believe. They wanted the power to be divided equally. Thus the idea to split the government into branches. The above message is false. Baron de Montesquieu wrote "The Spirit of Laws", stating that the government should have a system of checks and balences, thus...the 3 branches of government. Thomas wrote the Declaration of Independance, yes. But not the constitution that stated we needed 3 brances.

Answer 4

The Articles of Confederation first used this idea of separation of powers between the federal and state governments, but the Constitution established the system of divisions present today.
