Question

(Foundations 07 MC)

The text box reads, 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... the great difficulty lies in this, you must first enable the government to control the governed, and in the next place oblige it to control itself. - James Madison, Federalist No. 51

With which statement would the author of Federalist No. 51 most likely agree?

Answer 1

If both the people and the government love liberty, the government will not need to protect individual rights.

People are naturally good, so a government does not need checks and balances to protect individual rights.

People are not naturally disciplined, so a government must have unlimited power to keep order in society

Both people and governments need laws to keep order in society and protect individual rights
