Federalist No. 48 Publius (James Madison)
Read the Fine Print
Rating
0.0 stars

In this essay, Madison declares that “the most difficult task” is to provide “some practical” security for each branch against “the invasion of the others.” The Madison “correction” of “the founders of our early republics,” is this: Legislative tyranny is far more likely than executive tyranny “in a democracy.”

Federalist No. 51 Publius (James Madison)
Read the Fine Print
Rating
0.0 stars

James Madison, like most Americans at the time, understood that once a single branch of government — legislative, executive or judicial — had accumulated all political power in its hands, nothing could stop it from acting tyrannically. The checks and balances between the branches built into the proposed Constitution, he explained in Federalist 51, are therefore essential to keep those powers properly separated among the branches. In the midst of explaining these “inventions of prudence,” Madison offered thoughtful reflections on why human nature makes politics — especially the great task of framing a government comprised of men rather than angels — so challenging.

Federalist No. 52 Publius (James Madison)
Read the Fine Print
Rating
0.0 stars

Madison introduces the “more particular examination of the several parts of the government,” with ten essays on the House of Representatives. He organizes the treatment around “five views.” 1) “The qualification of electors” is completely covered and 2) the duration in office is partially covered in Federalist 52. With regard to the former, he says the electoral “door” is wide “open to merit of every description,” regardless of place of birth, “young or old, and without regard to poverty or wealth, or to any particular profession of religious faith.” Concerning the latter, he reminds the reader that “the scheme of representation as a substitute for a meeting of the citizens in person being at most but very imperfectly known to ancient polity, it is in more modern times only that we are to expect instructive examples.”
