what would be an argue that the federal government's system of checks and balances is or is not working as Madison intended in Federalist No. 51.
As you research and formulate your response, ask yourself these questions:

-What was Madison's view of human nature that led him to propose this system?
-Why did Madison argue that "the private interest of every individual may be sentinel over the public rights"?
-Is legislative gridlock a logical consequence of Madison's system, and if so, is it what Madison intended?
-Does the existence of iron triangles mean that the system of checks and balances is broken?
-What might occur if political power were not as fragmented as it is under Madison's scheme?
