Relevant Constitutional History for Current Events

Our friend, Mary Hanson, Attorney at Law @ www.bizadvisor.com provided a synopsis of relevant constitutional law for current events and you can see her full article HERE

The U.S. Constitution drafted in 1787, ratified in 1788, and put into effect in 1789 established the features of American government that are now in the news.  The brief four-page document defines executive and legislative powers and sets out the rules for elections, presidential appointments, Senate approval of officers of the government, and recess appointments.  The structure of three independent branches of government was intended to provide a system of checks and balances against the aggregation of too much power in one branch. The structure is best understood by reading the Federalist Papers, which capture the debate and negotiation among the representatives of the colonies.  The Federal Papers can be reviewed at: https://guides.loc.gov/federalist-papers/full-text
