The reason for the separate but equal branches of the federal government was to prevent majority tyranny and to setup a system of checks and balances amongst the three branches

19. Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a Christian. I believe in family, constitutional rights, and respect for others rights and property. Our country was founded by a few simple concepts; religious rights, civil rights, and the notion that no human being is the master of any other human being. I have taken a non-aggression oath which states that I will never initiate force for political or personal gains.
