Federalism is one of the main things that protects against tyranny. The term "federalism" is also used to describe a system of government in which sovereignty is constitutionally divided between a central governing authority and constituent political units (such as states or provinces). Definition from Wikipedia. The biggest problem in governments is tyranny. This often happens when there is too much power given to one or a more people. In federalism, we can not have that problem because the power is shared between two very different groups. As James Madison said, with federalism, "a double security arises to the rights of the people." Another big problem that leads to tyranny is that governments do not separate powers. separation of powersphrase of separation1. an act of vesting the legislative, executive, and judicial powers of government in separate bodies.Translation from google. How does it protect against tyranny? Separation of powers helps to protect against tyranny because this way, like federalism, the power is not in a small group and is spread out between the judicial, the legislative, and the executive. The third law that protects us against tyranny is...checks and bal·anc·esnouncounterbalancing influences by which an organization or system is regulated, typically those ensuring that political power is not concentrated in the hands of individuals or groups. Translation from google. How does it protect against tyranny? In the US, our checks and balances works within the three main branches of government. The judicial branch, the legislative branch, and the executive branch. These three branches were designed so that they can all control each other. This way no one branch can possibly get too big. This is how it protects against tyranny so well. The final way the constitution protects us against tyranny is big states vs small states. The issue was that the small states wanted equal representation and the big states wanted representation based on population. The compromise was that in the House of Representatives the reps would be based on population but in the senate the number of reps per state is the same. This protects the big states from bulling the smaller states.
