Checks, Not Chains
— A structure built to limit, not to rule.
— A structure built to limit, not to rule.
The Constitution was written
not to create concentrated power—
but to prevent it.
Each branch of government
was designed to check the others,
not obey them.
No President is a king.
No Congress is above the law.
No Court is immune to criticism.
When any branch forgets this,
tyranny is not far behind.
The genius of the Constitution
is not that it trusts power—
but that it doubts it.
It places limits.
It divides authority.
It demands transparency.
And it gives the people
the right to resist injustice
when the system fails.
The Constitution is not a chain
to bind the people—
It is a check to restrain the powerful.
