Federalist No. 51

Under what circumstances shall we use in the separation of powers amongst the departments laid out by the Constitution? A simple answer to this is to allow each interior structure of the government to keep one another in their proper places. Expanding on this suggestion will allow us to have a better understanding thus allowing us to better judge the structures and purpose of the government.

For a stable foundation each department should have a separate documentation stating their abilities. Adding to this the members of these branches should have a modest say in the appointment of others members. With saying this, appointing members of these three branches is only by the people through areas of no communication. However, the judiciary department should be appointed by the means of their qualification. Due to their permanent status this will alleviate dependency on the authority and pay should not depend on the legislative.

Each department should have slight dependence on one another. This will improve the invasion of others. If we were perfect there would be no need for government and if perfect men govern men, reins would not need to be placed. In creating a government administered by men to be over men control must be external as well as internal.

To distribute the power in the republican government the legislative shall be divided. This will leave them with little interaction with one another because each will have different approaches for election with different codes of actions. Since the burden of the legislative cause for division, attention to the weakness in the executive branch could require protection against attack.

To protect the people all rights must be submitted to the government. With the surrendering of power it is divided between two governments and the power among the two. This will bring a dual security for the rights of the people. As mention above, they will be the regulator of each other while still maintaining control over itself. It is imperative that to protect the society from the tyranny of rulers but also against one another due to injustice.

To protect the minority from the majority society shall be broken down into parts, interests, and class to protect their rights from the combinations of the majority vote. Through free government the safekeeping of civil rights will be the same for religious rights. So the weaker can't become overpowered by the stronger numerous fractions shall be created. This will subdue the will of the strong to unite and oppress the weaker.

Even within states like Rhode Island this form of government will prevail. This model of self-governing is feasible in the United States. The combination of these factions brings together a majority thus allowing less danger to the minor. Within larger societies, given that it lays in a practical proportion its capability of self-government is achievable.
