2) A government in which a singular individual–such as a king or president–maintains control, is the divine plan for humans.
3) Because of the Constitution, the national government is too extensive and violates state and individual rights.
4) Because of the Constitution, the central government was now strong enough to properly function, but it was still limited enough to prevent tyranny.
