I know the 19th century was generally considered to have been an era of legislative supremacy in our national government. However, the power of the executive branch has increased in the 20th century.

What i dont get is
How does the Constitution create tension between the executive and legislative branches???


What were the sources of power that Congress relied upon in the l9th century?

How did the executive branch increase its power in the 20th century?

How has Conress responded to this increase in presidential power?

Which branch dod you think is currently more powerful?

In your answer, please make reference to the Constitution, Federalist #51, and either Richard Neustadt or Charles Jones.


This is an essay question we can prepare for before a test so i want to make sure im covered on this as im having a tough time with it

First, we here are all too honest to help you cheat on a test. But clearly our founding fathers could not possibly understand the complexities of the 21'th century---where we clearly now need a king--we can use the current term though which is President--and remember that the term dictator is like so negative---but we can retain the title of legislative branch---but would better off renaming it the lobbyist's branch of government---which allows people with lots of money to bribe government to get special favors so they have more money to bribe government---so lets just rename it the lobby---its sort of an annex to the white house hall and foyer. As for the courts, they are like so retro-----what do we need them for when we have a fine attorney general like Alberto Gonzales who can think up all these fine legal justifications for having a King---no scratch that---President.---gotta keep them sematic terms politically correct at all times.

On a more serious note, the legislative branch has lost ground to the executive by its own legislation. As the world has gotten more complex, countless agencies---like the EPA--have been created and tucked into the executive wing---a vast army of bureaucrats who mainly compile information---and that information gets reported back to congress by people responsible to and reporting to the President----and the legislative is left sucking hind tit information wise.

And the quality of output--legislation--can't be better than the quality of input information.
