In this video Heimler explains everything you need to know for Unit 1 Topic 6 of the AP Government curriculum. This topic is all about the separation of powers and the system of checks and balances outlined in the Constitution.
In order to avoid tyranny, power has been divided between three branches of government (legislative, executive, and judicial), each of which can check and balance the other's power. In the legislative branch, power has been further divided into two houses: the Senate and the House of Representatives. And then by means of the 10th amendment, power has been further divided between state governments and the federal government (federalism).
The justification and defense of this system is laid out by James Madison in Federalist 51.

School doesn't start for three weeks where I live, but it's great that I can start looking at the curriculum in advance

[@matthewelifson7906]

hey heimeler, thanks for the video! always apreciate a good rundown

[@user-jb7pe7wf1z]

separation of powers: branches hold different powers
legislative checks executive
- approving cabinet and sc judges
- impeachment
- veto overrride
president over congress
- veto
court over congress
- judicial review (marbury v madison)
fed 51: checks and balances prevent abuse of power by any branch, cant have any branch be too strong
stakeholder: who is impacted by legislation (the people / citizens)
- interest groups cna lobby
- citizens can file complaints with federal agencies

this unit overlaps a lot with apush doesnt it

LETS GET A 5 ON THIS APUSH EXAM EVERYBODY

[@theparadigm8149]

APUSH? Hmmmm… 🤔 Technically, this _could_ help you with APUSH, but Heimler’s actual APUSH videos would be preferable! 👍

[@eifbkcn]

After our APUSH exam this year, our entire class took a sample multiple choice section for the AP Gov so our teacher this year would know how much we already know, and apparently a notable chunk of the kids scored within the 5 range. I myself got 51/55- a good score for someone who hasn't taken the Gov class yet- in part owing to the overlap between the two courses.

this man deserves the world

[@artwork4741]

I have a random question. So the 4th article in the article of confederation talks about how people can travel freely from state to state however people who left the state and were charged with crime will be sent back to trial. So i need to relate why this article seems to be problematic regarding the issue Afghanistans face because of Talibans right now.I’m really curious, thank you for reading!

what does the AP stand for?

[@goatmygoat1815]

Advance placement I believe

[@vincentmatesso7809]

lmao trump never got impeached.

[@demon_link]

Trump got impeached 2 times actually. Impeachment means getting charged with a crime. He was acquitted both times but technically he was still impeached

[@jadyn9798]

He did twice actually
