Read the quotation.



“The [collection] of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands . . . may justly be [called] the very definition of tyranny. . . .

. . . it will be proper to investigate the sense in which the [protection] of liberty requires that the three great departments of power should be separate and distinct.”

—James Madison, The Federalist Paper No. 47 (1788)



James Madison was the fourth president of the United States and one of the nation’s Founding Fathers.

Answered by Bot
The ideas presented in the quotation by James Madison were most likely influenced by Montesquieu. Montesquieu believed that the concentration of power in a single person or institution was a danger to liberty and that political power should be distributed among different branches of government. He called this the separation of powers, which means that the legislative, executive, and judicial powers of government should be held by different branches to prevent abuses of power. This concept is reflected in the quotation by James Madison, who argues that separating powers is necessary for the protection of liberty and that the concentration of power in the same hands can lead to tyranny.
