How does the Madisonian model of government reflect the structure of American government?

The Madisonian Model distributes the powers of federal government. This keeps more major factions from having to much control or influence over the government


What is Madisonian democracy?

Oh, dude, Madisonian democracy is like this concept from James Madison, one of the Founding Fathers. It's all about having a system of government with checks and balances, separating powers between different branches, you know, to prevent any one branch from getting too much power. So, like, it's basically a way to keep things in check and make sure no one goes all power-hungry on us.


What is the Madisonian Model?

Madisonian Model-The framers believed that human nature was based on self-interest & that inequalities of wealth was the principal source of pol. Conflict. With these ideas in mind the framers feared any group (non-wealthy) could gain majority control of the gov't and tyrannize the minority. TYRANNY OF THE MAJORITY. To deal w/these issues the framers came up w/ a conceptual design of gov't that came to be known as the Madisonian Model. According to this model the best way to prevent the "Tyranny of the Majority" was to ensure the following things were done when creating the new gov't. 1. Place as much of the gov't as possible beyond the control of the majority. 2. Separate the powers of the diff. gov't institutions. 3. Construct a system of checks and balances. Only members of the house of reps were directly elected by the masses. Other leaders were indirectly elected. President-electoral college. Senate-state legislature. Supreme court-president & state.


In which model is there a balance of power between the executive and legislative branches of government?

Separation of power is the model. This is what balances power between the executive and legislative branch of government.


How does the syetem of separation of power supplements the system of checks and balances?

The Madisonian model of Separation of Powers allows the three branches of government to monitor each other and prevents any one of them from becoming too powerful. Our founding fathers didn't want to create a government that would allow one person or group to have too much control, like that of England. There are several ways that the judicial, executive, and legislative branches can check one another's powers, but just one example is the necessity of a majority senate vote to approve presidential appointments to the Supreme Court.
