This horizontal dispersion of powers involves checks and Balances on the three branches of government. The Framers and Ratifiers of the Constitution were so fearful of despotism that they provided for numerous Checks and Balances as additional “structural guarantees” throughout the Federal System. All these various “structural guarantees” is what makes America a Constitutional Republic. The addition of a Bill of Rights or “written guarantee” is simply further evidence of the seriousness of the Founders insistence upon safe-guarding our individual rights and liberties.
