In Federalist No. 47, James Madison (under the pen name of Publius) provides a reason to believe that the constitution could meet the goal of controlling the government.

Madison takes his idea of "separation of power" from Montesquieu, who had written extensively about American democracy. The argument was that if the government was divided in different branches (executive, legislative and judicial), each power would act on the other ones as a control mechanism. The responsibilities of each branch would be contained in the Constitution. This system of "checks and balances" would mean that no power could act on its own, or overpower the other ones, effectively forcing the government to control itself.

The Federalists Papers are a series of 85 documents written by Alexander Hamilton, Jhon Jay, and James Madison, under the pseudonym of "Publius." The goal of these papers was to convince the people from New York to ratify the new Constitution. In this case, it was James Madison who wrote the Federalist Paper N.- 47. In the paper, he argues in favor of the new federal structure of the government under a separation of powers in three different branches.
