The US Constitution's Tenth Amendments

In the summer of 1787, fifty- five delegates representing twelve of the thirteen states met in the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia to help fix the national government because under the Articles of Confederation because the government was weak and state’s were functioning like independent countries. The delegates planned a new federal government with three branches of executive, judiciary, and legislative along with the system of checks and balances to ensure that no single branch would have too much power. The U.S Constitution established America’s national government and fundamental laws, and guaranteed the rights for the people.

To begin with, Federalism is a system of government that was written in the Constitution divides power between state government and national government in a government compound. The compound government provided the justice for all citizens basic rights into separate departments and it furnishes security the rights of the people so, the government will each control each other at the same time and itself. Otherwise,a state government is a unit of government makes and enforces laws for states and reserve powers by taking responsibilities that the national government doesn’t. According to Federalist Paper #51 in Document A the powers given to the state government is to set up local governments, holds elections, establish schools, pass marriage and divorce laws, and regulate state businesses are examples the specific powers that is reserved for state government.Based on the source of the Federalist Papers #51 by Madison the state government has the authority to maintain a community under the U.S Constitution’s Tenth Amendments to be not granted to the federal government.In addition, the state government performs duties to administrator roads, education, public safety, and justice to be decided by the voters, state lawmakers, and the state constitution.

On the other hand, the national government, or political authority controls the nation. Based on the source in Federalist Paper #51 by James Madison the national government is given by the Constitution is to regulate trade, conduct foreign relations, provide an army and navy, declare war, print and coin money, set-up post offices, and make immigration laws that are reserved for the national government. The role of the national government is to protect the safety and citizens and sovereignty of the country border to authorized to act based on legal constitution, federal laws, and accepted in civil standards because all citizens have the benefits from agencies and programs created by the national government. According

to the same document the national government is required by the Constitution to have enough states and provinces to maintain policy also to abilities to collect taxes.In Comparison, the state government and national government to share their power with each other to prevent from over controlling each other. Based on the document on Federalist Papers#51 both of the compound government have the authority to tax, borrow money, set up courts, make laws, and enforce laws. To add on under the Tenth Amendment to the U.S Constitution all powers are not granted to the federal government of the people and state separation of powers of federal government. The Federal government is controlled by the three branches of government created by the U.S Constitution to prevent becoming too powerful for each other that Federalism separation powers of a government compound. Madison’s idea of division of power between central and state government to give specific duties preventing from becoming too powerful for the rights of the people.
The legislature is made up of two houses in a Congress have an important task to make laws to be discussed and voted on.The House of Representatives and Senate qualified to take that position for the Constitution.

The Senate of the United States possessed two Senators from each state will be chosen for six years of the term each Senators have at least one vote. According to the Article the source provides that the Constitution in Article 1,Section 3 can be comprised in Senate of 100 members. In basis on areas focus on population of number representations to be house determine at least thirty-thousands members for each state in the Congress or the legislative branch. In addition, the members of the House are elected every two years must be 25 years of age and must be seven years as a citizen in the U.S. The Senate must be 30 years of age and a citizen for nine years as a citizen in U.S according to the source of the U.S Constitution. However, the Congress was given powers by the Constitution have significant power than any other branches. For example, the source of the article the House of Representatives has several powers to initiate revenue bills, impeach federal officials can electoral college with the president. The Senate has the sole power with be confirm the president’s appointments that requires permission to be signed as a contract also the House of Representatives can approve the vice president to make these treaties. To approve the Senate has the power to

impeachment in different cases of federal officials. According to the source of the U.S Constitution the Congress can force processing management to give financial budget in certain cases taxes of government services if can be approve into an agreement. The purpose of the Legislative branch is the only branch has the power to make new laws or change the existing ones. According to Article one of the U.S Constitution since the executive branch can issue a law ,but under the authority of the Congress that can be passed by the president law. The House of Representatives and Senate can vote at least two-thirds to approve a law. The Congress can check the president power of legislating laws and regulations to be in control. The U.S House of Representatives makes and passes federal laws and the Senate has authority to make treaties of ratification and to make approval appointments of the public to be in control.

The system of balances and checks is a very significant part of the Constitution can limit the powers of the three branches of government Madison’s concept that no constitutional control over each other. The three branches of government is Executive, Judiciary, and Legislative that is divided into different powers. Truly, the executive branch or the president can make laws. But, the Constitution can assign powers to the president to deny or to sign legislation, convene the Congress, and command the armed forces. The U.S President can nominate and assigns head of government departments, issue pardons in federal offense and issues executive orders with congressional approval. In addition, the president can reject the congressional legislation. Since the legislature or the Congress can enforce the law. According to the Madison’ checks and balances under the Constitution the Congress can approve the Presidential nominations, override a President's decision of denying to propose a law, and challenge the president and remove him or her the office. The Senate can confirm the President’s nominations to the Supreme Court. The Congress can also impeach the judges and remove them from office. Finally, the Judicial Branch can declare the laws that are unconstitutional or constitutional. Based on the separation of powers of Madison’s concept of separation of powers under the U.S constitution the Federal Court can declare presidential acts are unconstitutional and to the Congress is the law is unconstitutional. The Judicial branch can identify of criminal of civil courts and helps interpret the United States Constitution to help settle the dispute to clarify the laws to acting fairly by reviewing the constitution of the traditional review to decide need to be justices and nominate a law make an agreement. It extends the cases in a law and equality under the Constitution, laws of the United States, and treaties with two or more states, and examines laws or government activity. The purpose of checks and balances is to control each branch of government from overpowering other branches of government that a system regulated in political power without individual power.

In conclusion, the purpose of separation of powers of government to have individual responsibilities to prevent the powers to overcome other branches of government guard against tyranny to be shared and checks under the U.S Constitution.
