Scholar Exchange: Constitutional Battles of the Branches (High school and college level)

In this civics video, President and CEO Jeffrey Rosen and Chief Learning Officer Kerry Sautner focus on separation of powers and how the Constitution set up a system of checks and balances between the legislative, judicial, and executive branches of government. Our U.S. Constitution set up this system to ensure that no one branch of government would become too powerful, but where did this idea come from and how has this been tested over time in America? From Andrew Jackson and the battle over the country’s national bank to modern conversations around COVID-19, students engage in a lively and fast-paced conversation.
