In this video Heimler walks you through the contents of Federalist 51, written by James Madison, which is a required document for AP Government. Madison takes pains in this document to show how American citizens need not fear federal tyranny because of the separation of powers inherent in the federal government, and the system of checks and balances provided by the Constitution. The Constitution separates power into three branches: the legislative (in which power is further divided between the Senate and the House), the executive, and the judicial.
And then power is further divided between the federal government and the state governments, a system called federalism. Then Madison finishes the argument by showing how such separation of powers will protect citizens from the tyranny of factions.
