16. What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers within the Constitution?

I feel greed and the concentration of power through history was the lesson that our founders had concern for and why they defined, separated and limit the powers of each branch of our Republic. To this end they have helped keep us from becoming dictated by one man or one party of political influence.

Disagree
