Federalist #51

In Federalist 51, Madison states it is his vision to keep each branch of government nearly independent of one another. Madison first contends the majority of positions should be elected, except for the judiciary. The judicial offices are appointed by the president, and consented by the senate. These offices are considered "life" terms, therefore should not fall influence of the other 2 branches. To avoid corruption, each branch should also not be dependent on the other for salary. Additionally, Madison states in a Republic, the legislative branch is always the strongest. In order to break down the power within this body, Madison proposed to divide this house into 2, and create separate elections for both houses, this is to include term limits.
Madison's major purpose of this essay was convincing the public there would be no tyranny. There was a new strategy of governance, within the separation of powers and people could now govern themselves. This was possible without any legislative body becoming to large and possibly ruling the other 2. A very radical and powerful ideology.
