Separation of Powers and Checks and Balances: Crash Course Government and Politics #3

Rest in Peace RBG!

Super love this, found it while trying to actually understand wtf is going on in politics 😂 great way for those of use who paid no attention im school to catch tf back up

it's funny, I was feeling like I needed a refresher on all things government and politics and the first thing I think to look up is if there's a crash course of it and sure enough there is... with freaking Craig Benzine, one of the people I've watched since I was like 15! Love it.

Your videos are my favorite so far - super informative and lots of energy. BUT - i had to put you on .75 play speed so i could keep up while taking notes. haha

clone zone lol

One of the Craig clones looks like Crowley from supernatural

Thank you so much for making this learning process easy and fun. We appreciate your hard work and are grateful to you.

It's a little late, but slowing down just a tad would be great.

Wow, I thought it was going to be rigorous to take American history into account. In other words, your video is very handy and inspiring to learn anyways

not sure if the philosopher kings are the weakest anymore as congress has mostly given up their responsibilities.

This is pure info-tainment 🤣

God bless you ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️

Let me know more..mmm🎉🎉🎉

Good video. The humor is appreciated but can be a tad distracting. Still, great series, good video, good vibes. 😅

All thanks to you, I passed my test. ( 9 out of 10)🤩😀😃😆🙃😉😊😇🥰😍😘😗☺😚😙

Thank you for the video

Nice how you show Vice President Biden when you talk about the Vice President's ability to embarrass the President....

Another valuable crash course, but I wish the presenter would stop with the silly voices

Some adults, who received less than adequate education, enjoy learning from this but find the voices annoyingly distracting

The 3/5 of a person thing was designed to stop the slave states from counting their slaves as part of the population which would have given them more representatives and thus further enabled them to keep slavery legal.

The slave states would have used the number of slaves to further the agenda of slavery.

The point of saying slaves only counted as 3/5 a person was not an attempt to deny personhood to the slave but rather an attempt to trick the slave states into having less political power with the goal of banning slavery.

In short the 3/5 was something that helped the slaves not hindered them.

breaking the government into 3 parts reminds me of the holy trinity

amend constitution to decentralize political government at article 5 convention

The Judiciary sounds like Jordan Peterson hahaah

Oh WoW very interesting

would limited popular control be that things can only happen if, for example 2/3 of a branch vote for it to happen?

idk if this video holds up anymore with saying that the judicial branch has a small amount of power. Especially in the wake of watching them overturn a 50 year legal precedent after lying under oath that they wouldn't overturn such legal precedent (Roe v Wade). Democrats in congress have floated the idea of impeachment for lying under oath to secure lifetime seats, but it seems like that won't happen. The Supreme Court is currently being used to force minority rule on the country. And it wasn't just Roe v Wade. They ruled that teachers can legally lead their students in prayer (breaking seperation of church and state), as well as making it so you can't sue a cop for not reading your miranda rights. The list goes on, but it really doesn't seem like these checks and balances work to keep the will of the majority heard. A good start would be limiting terms for Supreme Court officials.

Watching again and posting the most recent comment !

YEAH TEAM JACOB WHOOO!

So much for the judicial branch being the weakest 🙄

((Yeah I've been there before with those three (3) branch governments, 2 years ago)).

His methodology of teaching is not serious enough.

He spends more time trying to be humorous than conveying his messages- much to distracting for me.

I don't feel him... Too annoying!

review of the Judicial Review with Board of Education with Plessy Fergusson law of the trial of juries

"King George III, That guy was a jerk"😂 THAT KILLED ME😂

I don't like belittling the oaths. No wonder we have the most corrupt Congress that money can buy. PBS nurtures this mockery with this type of presentation to make it 'fun'? History can be interesting AND respectful. PBS reminds me CNN, MSNBC snarky elitism.

I can't stand the awful voices he keeps doing. They make it so hard to focus on what he's saying.

🧐

I didn't know Kermit was teaching us.

I am an online college student, i subscribed so i can learn more about the class im taking, i have a house full of kids and a full time job so i like to watch a vid on the subject im learning so get a better grasp of the content when i can not read through all the content provided

This man hates America so much. Punching bald eagle isn’t fun. America education system is deeply infiltrated by her enemies.

boring....

I learned more from this three videos than what I have learned in school when I went to HS.

Students: Finally NO SCHOOL! I can do whatever I want. Google Classroom: ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?

T

this guy is kinda annoying

This is short, sweet, and easy to comprehend unlike school which is always so complicated and hard to focus on smh.

Dude just talk. You don't need to do a million voices

if only the framers knew that a pandemic could throw avoidance of a tyrannical gov out the window 😢

I would have voted you for president. :)
