  The Founding Fathers were rightfully fearful. The colonies had been under the thumb of an autocrat, the king of England, for over 150 years. In setting up a new government, what they feared most was creating a government that concentrated too much power in the hands of just a few. In their brilliance and their fear, they designed a system of separation of powers, and checks and balances. Two houses of Congress (each individually weak), a weak presidency and a Supreme Court to referee conflicts w
