Electric Lib

Good Ol' James Madison

I'm reading Federalist No. 51 for an essay that I have to write, and it is generally interesting and understandable, but this one sentence seemed a little long and crazy, so I laughed to myself and then decided that I needed to point it out. So here you go, an exceprt from Federalist No. 51.

"May not this defect of an absolute negative be supplied, by some qualified connection between this weaker department, and the weaker branch of the stronger department, by which the latter may be led to support the constitutional rights of the former, without being too much detached from the rights of its own department?"

There's the sentence of the day. Posted by lib at January 28, 2007 02:04 PM
