When were the three branches of government created?
The separation of powers is called Checks and Balances in the constitution. They are Articles number 1,2,& 3. You can see by the fact that they are 1,2,& 3 how important our founding fathers felt that not giving one branch of government too much power was. So you can see that this concept was originally created in the U.S. Constitution at the very beginning of the founding of our country. Famous Frenchman Montesquieu believed in separating the powers of government and having Checks and Balances. I am sorry I can not elaborate more on the question.
What are the amendments and how can they be added?
Amendments are considered apart of the theconstitution with the same enforcement value. I believe the constitution says amendments have the same "intents and purposes" as the rest of the constitution.Amendments can be passed in two ways: 1) Congress can propose an amendment to the states by a 2/3 majority vote in each house. Then if 3/4 of the states ratify it..it becomes an amendment.2) 2/3 of the states call a convention to propose amendments. If 3/4 of all the states ratify those proposals; they become amendments.

Why did the founding fathers allow slavery to continue?
Most of them had slaves and were dependent on them. Incorrect. Only 3 of the 7 founding fathers were slave owners. There were 7 founding fathers of the US Constitution: Franklin, Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Jay, Madison, and Hamilton. 3 were slave owners (Washington, Jefferson, and Madison all from Virginia). 3 were not (Adams, Jay, and Hamilton) In fact they were adamantly against slavery. Franklin became an abolitionist after the Constitutional Convention in 1785 and freed both his slaves. The founding fathers from Virgina (later a confederate state) were pro-slavery. The others from New York or Massachusettes were against slavery. This initial philosophical contradiction during the founding of the US wasn't resolved until 80 years later during the US Civil War.

Did any founding fathers oppose article 3 of the constitution or establishment of the supreme court?
To the best of my knowledge, I don't believe any did. Many of the Founding Fathers were educated and trained as lawyers and the necessity of courts and a means to enforce laws in a new country would be a requirement. That, and a judicial arm of government was needed to counterbalance the legislative and executive branches of government so opposition to it wouldn't have been wise.

Who were the four most important Founding Fathers?
Answer (1): George Washington, James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin. Answer (2): George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John JayFounding Fathers(1) All the delegates to the Constitutional Convention can be considered the Founding Fathers of the United States. There were 55 who attended the convention. Some are better known than others, like Hamilton, Washington, and Madison. The National Archives site linked to the right has a listing by state of all the Founding Fathers and a biography of each. Some would say that the four most significant Founding Fathers are George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. This could easily be contested based on your evaluation of the contributions of each man. Others such as Alexander Hamilton and John Adams would be high on any list.---------------(2) Our Founding of the American Revolution came in two phases: the war & the peace. Of the Founding Fathers only Washington and Hamilton fought, both for over 4 years. Then came the revolution of a government system and an economic/financial system. Washington presided and often had to choose between conflicting options and he chose well. Madison, Hamilton, and Jay on Government Systems. Alexander Hamilton alone on Economic/Financial Systems. Therefore, Washington (1), Hamilton (2), Madison (3), and Jay (4). Jefferson, Adams, and Franklin played key roles in their states and were diplomats but they did not fight in the war for independence or create the national foundations.
