Question

Answer briefly of the following question.

State any two conventions of the written constitution of the United States of America.

Answer 1

1. The Presidential Cabinet: Although the U.S. Constitution does not explicitly establish a Presidential Cabinet, it is a long-standing convention that the President forms a group of advisors, including the heads of executive departments (e.g., Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense). This convention helps the President manage the federal executive branch and makes the cabinet an essential element of governance.
2. The Two-Term Tradition: While the U.S. Constitution does not set a limit on the number of terms a president can serve, the two-term practice was followed for more than 150 years after George Washington voluntarily stepped down after two terms. It became a convention until it was formally codified in the 22nd Amendment (1951), which limits a president to two terms in office.
