Why is it so important to split power into three different parts?
Did this work effectively?
Is it good ambition counteracting bad ambition or is it totally different?
Is the government a new state of nature for us?
How does checks and balances work in the three different parts?
Ambition must be made to couteract ambition.
I chose this because it does not seem to make much sense, I'm assuming good ambitions counteracts bad ambition.
But what is government itself, but the greatest of all reflections on human nature?
I chose this quote because its saying how humans have evolved from a state of nature where everything is mayhem to a different state of nature where its organized.
If a majority be united by a common interest, the rights of the minority will be insecure.
I chose this quote because its saying that the majority vote can make everyone who was once opposed to it, change their minds. I agree with this.
It is evident that each department should have a will of its own.
I chose this because you can see Madison establishing the separation of powers.
Were this principle rigorously adhered to, it would require that all the appointments for the supreme executive, legislative, and judiciary magistracies should be drawn from the same fountain of authority, the people, through channels having no communication whatever with one another.
I chose this because it is defining how a representative democracy was formed, the people vote others into office to vote and represent them.
