The Constitution of the United States created a strong but limited national government, in order to
protect the citizens from possible abuses of the government. These limits are expressed, in the division
of its powers, the adoption of a federal system, the proclamation of civil liberties and rights, and the
rotation and selection of authorities through popular election. However, it is possible to find several
instances where the government’s decisions (adopted or attempted) are in tension with these limits.
These instances may include, for example, executive overreach, judicial activism (or restraint), one
branch’s failure to oversee another or to perform their mandated duties, or national government
meddling into states spheres of authority, among others.
How have other countries set restraints to their governments? Are these solutions preferable to the
ones implemented in the United States? For your paper, answer these questions by comparing the
United States with one or two other countries regarding one dimension of limits to the national
government. Specifically, your paper should 1) describe the dimension you are addressing, 2) describe
the solutions implemented in each country, and 3) critically analyze the advantages and disadvantages of
these solutions and the conditions that may explain their success or failure.
This paper should be 1500 words
long (about 6 pages double-spaced) and include a minimum of 8 high-quality sources.
