WRITING PROMPT: Distrust of a single leader with absolute power, a feeling based on bad experiences under the constraints of the British monarchy, emerged as an important theme for the Framers of the US Constitution. Yet the framers developed a form of government that includes a central leader, the president, as the head of the executive branch. This leader is responsible for carrying out the actions of government necessary to enact the laws passed by Congress. In your opinion, how well does the Constitution strike a balance of authority among the three branches of government? Explain your view using examples from recent and current events. * PLEASE HELP ME
