Question

"In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, 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."—Federalist No. 51

Answer 1

This quote supports the idea that government must

be based on the principle of federalism with the state governments maintaining the majority of responsibility
maintain order and security at all times and costs, sometimes requiring placing limits to individual liberties
describe in detail each law or policy enacted to justify its existence and actions to the people it must control
have separation of powers with checks and balances so that while it governs, its own power is also limited
