1. The legislative branch: they collect taxes, coin money, and regulate trade. They can also declare war. It also makes all laws needed to fulfill the functions givin to it as stated in the constitution.
The executive branch: headed by the president, caries outthe nations laws and policies. The president also conduct relations with foreign countries.
The judicial branch: the supream court. They hear court cases, laws passed by congress, and disputes between states.
2. Both the house and the senate must pass a bill for it to become a law. The president can chech congress by vetoing, or rejecting, the bill. How ever, congress can then check the president by overriding, or voting down, the veto. To override a veto, two-thirds of the members of both houses of congress must vote for the bill.
3. The number of representatives are determined by the population of the state and the two people from each state were in the Senate. The other compromise was to count each enslaved person as three-fifths of a free person for both taxation and representation.
4.John Jay, James Madison, and Alexander Hamilton.
5. The bill of right made sure one branch of government didn't abuse their power, some states demanded one because they didn't want the central government to become so powerful that it was like having another king
6. The main argument was that the new constitution would take away the American people's liberties. also that the central government would become so powerful that they would forget about the states and the people and favor the richer people over a common person. So basically the anti-federalists thought that the new constitution would give the central government to much power.
