James Madison argued in Federalist Paper No. 51 that if men were angels, no government would be necessary. This statement reflects Madison's belief in the inherently flawed nature of human beings and the need for a system of checks and balances to prevent abuse of power. Madison emphasized the importance of designing a government that can control the governed and also control itself.
