Question

Federalists believed in the separation of powers because they wanted
individuals to have separate rights.
to avoid conflicts between states.
the central government to avoid monarchy.
the nation to elect a strong executive.

Answer 1

Federalists believed in the separation of powers to ensure that the central government would avoid the concentration of power that could lead to tyranny, including a monarchy. By dividing government responsibilities among different branches (legislative, executive, and judicial), they aimed to create a system of checks and balances that would protect individual rights and prevent any one branch from becoming too powerful. Therefore, the correct choice would be:

**the central government to avoid monarchy.**
