The Myth of Three Co-Equal Branches of GovernmentBy Gary Porter February 11, 2019 |
Speaker Pelosi is not alone in her confusion as to our government’s design, the “Three Co-Equal Branches” myth has been drummed into millions upon millions of public school children’s heads for probably the last one hundred years. A simple Google search finds people ranging from reporters,to sitting Congressmen, to lawyers groups and, of course, educational websites repeating this patent untruth.
Ironically, this is perhaps one of the easiest myths to debunk these days, but there is more to the story and great cause for concern; not just over the persistence of the myth and our nation's constitution ignorance which perpetuates it, but more so over the current state of affairs in the federal government today. How closely are we conforming to the Framers design?
