Explanation:

1- The executive branch is one of the three primary faculties and functions of the Government. It is thus distinguished from the legislative power, which approves or repeals laws, and from the judicial branch, which interprets, enforces or invalidates them.

The executive branch is responsible for the daily management of the State, conceives and executes general policies according to which the laws have to be applied; represents the nation in its diplomatic relations; sustains the armed forces and sometimes advises with respect to legislation.

2- The Articles of Confederation formed a weak government that united the Thirteen Colonies, with the capacity to govern themselves almost only in times of war and emergencies. After the end of the War of Independence and the beginning of new priorities, its limitations became evident, since the central government was nothing more than a de facto union, in which each state issued its own currency.

3- Right of petition is the right that every individual or legal entity, group, organization or association has to request or complain before the competent authorities - usually governments or public entities - for reasons of public interest, be it individual, general or collective.

4- Benjamin Franklin was a politician, polymath, scientist and American inventor. He is considered one of the Founding Fathers of the United States.

He contributed to the end of the War of Independence, with the signing of the Treaty of Paris (1783). From there, he contributed to the drafting of the US Constitution (1787). In 1785 he was elected governor of Pennsylvania, and devoted himself fully to the construction of the American nation.

5- The Constitutional Convention was held between May 14 and September 17, 1787 in Philadelphia, to solve the problems of the United States government, which had been operating in accordance with the Articles of Confederation after its independence from Great Britain. The delegates elected George Washington to preside over the convention. The result of the Convention was the Constitution of the United States of America.

6- Anti-Federalists thought that the Constitution would give too much power to the federal government, thus reducing the power from the states that composed the country.
