| | | | | ninth: Encyclopedia II - United States Constitution - Principles of government Although the Constitution has been amended several times since it was first adopted, its basic principles remain the same now as in 1789.
There are three branches of the national government—executive, legislative, and judicial—and they are separate and distinct from one another. The powers given to each are in theory balanced and checked by the powers of the other two. Each branch ideally serves as a check on potential excesses of the others. This is known as "separation of po ...

| | | | | ninth: Encyclopedia II - United States Constitution - Provisions for amendment The authors of the Constitution were clearly aware that changes would be necessary from time to time if the Constitution was to endure and cope with the effects of the anticipated growth of the nation. However, they were also conscious that such change should not be easy, lest it permit ill-conceived and hastily passed amendments. Balancing this, they also wanted to ensure that an overly rigid requirement of unanimity would not block action desired by the vast majority of the population. Their solution w ...

| | | | | ninth: Encyclopedia II - United States Constitution - Legality of the Constitution One historical controversy is whether the Constitution was illegally adopted.
The Constitution was originally proposed by a convention which was convened for the express purpose of amending the Articles of Confederation. The Articles required ratification by the legislatures of all of the member states for amendments to take effect. Article Seven of the Constitution, however, only required ratification by conventions in nine states for that document to take effect. Scholars have traditionally resolved this contradiction by arguing tha ...

| | | | | ninth: Encyclopedia II - United States Constitution - International influences on the development of the Constitution To a small degree, historians disagree on the specific international influences on the development of the Constitution, possibly due to the variety of sources. Many argue that several of the ideas embodied in the Constitution were new, and that a large number of ideas were drawn from Classical Antiquity and the British governmental tradition of mixed government, which was in practice among 12 of the 13 states. Many historians do not specifically consider other sources, but the ideas advocated by the writings of Charles de Secondat, Baron de ...
