The United States of America is the successful republic, which emerged in the monarchical world of the eighteenth century. The Founding Fathers perceived the Old World as a threat to the young American country, which consisted of a dozen independent states. Thus, the founders decided to unite the states in a new political formation of the republic for countering the threats and challenges of the Old World and its colonies. At the same time, the Founding Fathers wanted neither dictators nor any new monarchs at the head of the Union. Furthermore, the Article of Confederation of 1778 became out-of-date and could not serve as the major law in the new America. In addition, the central power was weak, and each state had its own laws and could cancel any central legislative act. Congress consisted of one house, where each state had an equal number of representatives irrespective of the population. Moreover, Congress depended on states because each state gave money or soldiers for support of the country.
Only a new constitution could solve the vital problems and unite all states into a sole democratic republic in order to protect the individual rights of each American citizen. The Constitution of the United States became a unique democratic law, which declared the emergence of a new American nation and the establishment of a strong democratic republic. It divided the power into three branches, declared the two-chamber parliament, and established federal and states powers. The aim of the paper is to consider how the Constitution managed to regulate many problems, protect the individual rights of citizens, and strengthen the central power of the democratic republic.
