“In the compound republic of America, the power surrendered by the people is first divided between two distinct governments, and the portion allotted to each subdivided among distinct and separate departments. Hence a double security arises to the rights of the people. The different governments will each control each other, at the same time that each will be controlled by itself.”

23. Reason #1…
Federalism
Definition of this word or idea: Power to rule is divided between the national and state governments
Document(s) that supports this: A
(may be only one doc.)
Quote from document that supports your idea: “In the compound republic of America, the power surrendered by the people is first divided between two distinct governments...”

DO NOT USE THE QUOTE!

24. Develop your thesis Federalism Separation of Powers
The Constitution guards against government’s abuse of power, or tyranny in three ways,
Separation of Powers
Small/Large state Compromise
Or, Checks and Balances

25. Possible way #1... Federalism Doc. A
Some powers given to central gov. Some given to state govs.
Each level of gov. has power to restrict the other
Local issues are decided at the local level
Neither level of gov’t. has all the power
Possible way #2... Separation of Powers
Doc. B
Having all power in the same hands is Madison’s definition of tyranny
Liberty requires that government powers be separated
Each branch has different, separate job to do (legislative, executive, judicial)
Dividing power protects against tyranny.
Evidence is in BLACK; arguments are in RED.

26. Branches check each other give examples such as:
Possible way #3...
Checks and Balances
Doc. C
Branches check each other give examples such as:
President can veto unfair laws
Congress can impeach the president or federal judges
-No branch gets too much power because the other two have some control
Possible way #4... Large/Small state compromise
Doc. D
-The congress is divided into two houses; one where representation is equal (Senate), the other based on population (House)
-Prevents large states being over-controlled by small population of small states and small states being controlled by big states
Evidence is in BLACK; arguments are in RED.

27. Outline (1st paragraph)
Title: It should include the word Tyranny
No Tyranny!
Protection against Tyranny
Tyranny? The Constitution says, “NO!”
Grabber/Hook: Get the reader’s attention!
Tyranny comes in many shapes and sizes. Either a king or dictator, a group, the military or others in charge could lead to tyranny if one person or group has too much power.
Throughout history humans have endured tyranny of many types.

28. Outline (1st paragraph)
Background (consider including):
What it was like under the British
What it was like under the Articles of Confederation
When it was written and where
Who wrote it, why did they write it
Ask the question with the key terms defined:
What are the Key Terms?
Tyranny = Abuse of power
Constitution = a plan for government
So, something like:
“How does the nation’s new plan for government guard against the abuse of power, or tyranny?”

29. Outline Remember your chicken foot? Federalism Separation of Powers
The Constitution guards against tyranny in three ways:
Small/Large state Compromise
Separation of Powers
Or, Checks and Balances
Remember your chicken foot?

30. Possible thesis sentence stems
The Constitution guards against tyranny in several (three, many) ways. _______, _______, and _______ are three of them.
_________, _________, and _________ are three ways the Constitution protects the people from tyranny.
The people are protected from tyranny, in three ways: _________, __________, and ___________.

31. Possible Topic Sentence Stems
_________ is one way the Constitution guards against tyranny.
The people are protected from tyranny by ________ in the constitution.
Another way citizens are protected from tyranny is ______________.
Finally, the constitution includes ___________ as a guard against tyranny.

32. Evidence and argument paragraphs:
After you write your topic sentence, the outline asks for evidence and argument. Your 2nd, 3rd, and 4th paragraphs each explain how one principle guards against tyranny. Your body paragraphs should go IN THE SAME ORDER as your thesis.
For example, if your thesis is:
Three ways the Constitution guards against tyranny are federalism, separation of powers, and checks and balances.
Then your 2nd paragraph should be about federalism
Your 3rd about separation of powers
Your 4th about checks and balances

33. Evidence and argument paragraphs:
Follow this format:
Topic sentence:
Describe it:
HOW it guards against tyranny
Example from the document.
