Hanabata,

I suggest you read (or reread) the Federalist Papers and then then place a comment here.  The sense that it was intended by the Founding Fathers to establish roughly equal branches of government in "dynamic balance" escapes me if its there.  Perhaps your comprehension will prove superior.

If you come away with any scheme that differs from the Legislative Branch being preeminent, followed in power by the Executive Branch, and the Judicial Branch as the weakest of the three, then please direct me to the relevant papers.  I really would like to know.

You stating that the "Framers implicitly set the branches into a dynamic-tension" is somewhat puzzling to me.  The Founders were literate, well-educated men.  Do you think it reasonable that they were unable to state clearly what you say is implied.  If not, then why not?

If you don't attempt to correct gross imprecision or wishful thinking among adults, then you shouldn't be surprised at being thought a fool yourself.
