Madison and the Federalist 51 papers

So what was the difficulty or paradox Madison poses and how does Madison believe the constitution solves theses difficulties?  One of the problems according to the Federalist 51 papers is “maintaining in practice the necessary partition of power among the several departments, as laid down in the Constitution” and “ the means of keeping each other in their proper places.”  That is why the auxiliary precautions were made.  The auxiliary precautions were the checks and balance system made up of the division of power and the separation of power.  This was created as an extra security method.  The division of power was the difference between national and state government.  They divided them to make sure that too much power is not given to the national government.  This gave dual sovereignty to the state and national governments.  Also states are given power so more people can have a say on a local level on what is happening in their areas.  The separation of power is the three branches of government: Legislative, executive, and judicial. According to the federalist papers to help things be more balanced they “divide the legislature into different branches; and render them, by different modes of election and different principles of action, as little connected with each other as the nature of their common functions and their common dependence on the society will admit.” So now not only one area has all the power it is now divided up between three groups.  The constitution was a great and powerful tool, but the auxiliary precautions help protect us, and our governments from anyone having too much power.
