The government��s power should come from the people because since the new nation is created, people will fear if they will have the similar system as before. The power should come from people because it should be democratic society. � 2. I believe slaves should be counted, as people for representation in congress due to population of slaves. Slaves take large portion of the population which means they cannot be isolated from the group. As all the people wanted freedom and declared fairness, they should treat everyone equally. 3. Slave trade should be outlawed because they are still human and as people all promised being equal, slave should also be considered. 4. A single person cannot be leading the executive branch because if that happens, similar situation will happen. As before, the one will get all the power so the system will be monarchy type or dictator type system. 5. The chief executive should be elected by the people because the new nation is entirely up to the people and people have rights to vote since they earned freedom. � �
