In 1-2 sentences, in words a 10-year-old can understand, explain in what ways our government system might be different if the Founders had not incorporated the concept of checks and balances and separate of powers into the U.S. Constitution.

If the Founders did not include the checks and balances and separation of powers in the U.S. Constitution, one person or group might have too much power and make all important decisions without listening to others, which could lead to unfair and unhappy situations.

Ten year old might understand, but too few 50 year olds.

If the Founders did not include checks and balances and separation of powers, one person or group could have all the power in the government and might not listen to or consider other people's opinions, which could lead to a lot of problems and disagreements.

Good grief, the bot is ahead of half our newspaper editors !!!
