Liam Mclean · Answer 2

The Framers of the Constitution wanted to include checks and balances in the federal government to make sure that one branch of government couldn't completely control the other branches of government. The goal was to prevent the rise of any one branch over the other to prevent monarchical or absolute rule similar to what had been experienced by the colonists under the British Crown.
