Keyword: «constitutional and legal status of the head of state»

The United States of America became the birthplace of the classical presidential Republic. The war for independence clearly showed the rebellious colonists that the country desperately needed its own strong head of state, who should be the head of the executive power, and the fear of a possible “tyranny of assembly” led to the rejection of traditional British parliamentarism. The need to create an effective system of checks and balances realized by them led not only to the emergence of an independent judiciary, but also to the real possibilities of each federal branch of power to exercise not only their own powers, but also, depending on the situation, to neutralize the attempts of other branches of power to go beyond the constitutional authority and usurp state power.
