In this video Heimler explains everything you need to know for Unit 1 Topic 6 of the AP Government curriculum. This topic is all about the separation of powers and the system of checks and balances outlined in the Constitution.

In order to avoid tyranny, power has been divided between three branches of government (legislative, executive, and judicial), each of which can check and balance the other's power. In the legislative branch, power has been further divided into two houses: the Senate and the House of Representatives. And then by means of the 10th amendment, power has been further divided between state governments and the federal government (federalism).

The justification and defense of this system is laid out by James Madison in Federalist 51.

    School doesn't start for three weeks where I live, but it's great that I can start looking at the curriculum in advance

    separation of powers: branches hold different powers legislative checks executive - approving cabinet and sc judges - impeachment - veto overrride president over congress - veto court over congress - judicial review (marbury v madison) fed 51: checks and balances prevent abuse of power by any branch, cant have any branch be too strong stakeholder: who is impacted by legislation (the people / citizens) - interest groups cna lobby - citizens can file complaints with federal agencies

    I have a random question. So the 4th article in the article of confederation talks about how people can travel freely from state to state however people who left the state and were charged with crime will be sent back to trial. So i need to relate why this article seems to be problematic regarding the issue Afghanistans face because of Talibans right now.I’m really curious, thank you for reading!
