The American Constitution needed a dramatic change, so they would not fall into a tyranny as they were in before. In order for the constitution to be completely fair they made sure that there was equal power spread evenly throughout the people of America. In the year of 1787, fifty-five delegates decided they needed to improve their national government by fixing the Articles of Confederation. America needed to have a powerful central government, but not one with tyranny. Separating the powers within the government would be the right choice for we the people to receive the change most wanted.
