Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Leading Cases on the Constitution of the United States: Arranged for Use in Government at Harvard University The framers of the American Constitution were convinced that the preservation of popular liberty demanded a fair division of powers among the three organs of government. "The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive and judicial, in the same hands, whether of one, a few or many, and whether self-hereditary, self-appointed or elected" was regarded, in the words of Alexander Hamilton, as "the very definition of tyranny." No principle of government, it was believed, could call a greater range of political experience to its support. Hence it was the theory of those dominating the Constitutional Convention of 1787 that the Legislature should make the laws, that the Executive should put them into operation, and that the Judiciary should interpret them. These three organs of government were given as much independence of one another as seemed consistent with the smooth working of the whole governmental machine, and it was intended that no one of them should ever encroach upon the domain of the others. This doctrine had been given clear-cut expression by the statesmen who framed the Constitution of Massachusetts some few years before.
