The United States government is divided into the executive, legislative, and judicial branches in order to maintain a healthy balance of power, but how is that balance maintained today? This timely book explains the system of checks and balances with historical and contemporary examples, such as President Trump's executive order banning immigration from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen. Readers will learn how the judicial branch was able to block portions of this executive order, and other key moments of checks and balances in U.S. history. Photographs bring these important issues into sharp focus, while fact boxes highlight essential information on this highly relevant topic.

America had just won their war for Independence. It was time to set up a brand-new government. They knew they did not want to put too much power into the hands of one leader. Instead, they created three equal branches of government: the executive branch, the legislative branch, and the judicial branch. How could this new government make sure that one branch didn't gain too much power? Readers explore how the system of checks and balances works with examples of each type of check and balance. Additional information is presented in an easily understood graphic organizer.

Classic Books Library presents this brand new edition of “The Federalist Papers”, a collection of separate essays and articles compiled in 1788 by Alexander Hamilton. Following the United States Declaration of Independence in 1776, the governing doctrines and policies of the States lacked cohesion. “The Federalist”, as it was previously known, was constructed by American statesman Alexander Hamilton, and was intended to catalyse the ratification of the United States Constitution. Hamilton recruited fellow statesmen James Madison Jr., and John Jay to write papers for the compendium, and the three are known as some of the Founding Fathers of the United States. Alexander Hamilton (c. 1755–1804) was an American lawyer, journalist and highly influential government official. He also served as a Senior Officer in the Army between 1799-1800 and founded the Federalist Party, the system that governed the nation’s finances. His contributions to the Constitution and leadership made a significant and lasting impact on the early development of the nation of the United States.
