Why do you think that the founding fathers created the legislative branch first?

The founding Fathers created the legislative branch first...

Explanation:

"There were two basic reasons: The importance of a Congress in running the country and the creation of a central government that had to have limited and expressed powers so that it would not overcome the powers of the individual states. The Founding Fathers considered the legislative branch to be the heart of the government. For years, they had conducted colonial affairs and even the Revolutionary War as a Congress of delegates from the colonies without a president and without a supreme court. In the first attempt at a central government under the Articles of Confederation once again there was only a Congress to run the country. There was no chief executive. The Articles of Confederation had a weak central government. The legislative branch had little authority, if any, over individual colonies. They recognized that there must be a stronger central government; however each state had its own sectional interest that sometimes conflicted with those of other states. The states were afraid that a Congress that was too strong would eventually take over most of the powers of the states. The delegates from the states then decided that the legislative branch had to be a government of limited powers that had to be expressly set forth, with the states retaining all powers not expressly given to Congress. The Founding Fathers had to think out the various issues that affected the nation as a whole in order to determine which powers the Congress should be given. This is why they spent so much time carefully delineating the areas of government where Congress had the supreme authority so it was as clear as possible to know where Congress had power and where states had power."
