There is a quote written by Madison in one of his essays in this reading passage. In your own words, what do you think this quote is saying?
Quote: "If men were angels, no government would be
necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be
necessary. In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this:
you must first enable government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself."
