How would you say modern Congress (20th Century+) differs from Congress of the 1700s and 1800s? Explain your answer

Explanation:

the Congress of the modern century is modified to specify rights for a broader spectrum and not just limited to the white male. Many debates have occured for the modification of the Congress's structure but we have just simply added amendments and our judicial system still makes decisions according to what is "Constitutional" aka what the constitution has permitted since it was made, to the adjustments made over the course of history

i'm asking the same thing i asked this other cat all of

1) checks and balances- this idea is implemented in the constitution to ensure that no one branch of the federal government gains too much power. for example, the legislative branch(congress) can approve a bill that will then be sent to the executive branch (president). if the president does not like the bill or thinks that it violates the rights of citizens, he/she can veto the bill. vetoing the bill stops the bill from becoming a law. this check on power ensures that congress makes laws that do not violate the rights of citizens.

2) anti-federalists do not want to ratify the constitution unless it includes a bill of rights. the anti-federalists are worried that the constitution gives too much power to the federal government. having a strong central government caused problems when the us was still part of great britain. this is why the anti-federalists are fearful of this type of system.

3) federalists want a new constitution passed because it will fix america's weak political structure. before the us constitution is implemented, the constitution being used is known as the articles of confederation. this constitution has an extremely weak central government, allowing for disunity among the states.

can't do the whole thing, hope this
