If it's easier for you to copy and paste the questions that accompany the Federalist 51 reading assignment into a Word document so that you can type your answers, feel free to do so - they are below:

1. According to Federalist 51, what is essential to the “preservation of liberty”? How should this “be so constituted”?

2. Explain the following: “A dependence on the people is, no doubt, the primary control on the government; but experience has taught mankind the necessity of auxiliary precautions.”

3. In a republican government, which branch is the strongest? Identify three ways of “remedying this inconveniency”

4. List two ways in which the federalist system of the U.S. “places that system in a very interesting point of view” (i.e. protects against tyranny)

5. List one way in which each of the following protect against tyranny (i.e. reflects federalism):
(a) separation of powers
(b) checks and balances

6. Write an introductory paragraph of a hypothetical Federalist paper of your own construction (choose one controversial aspect of the proposed Constitution and convince the skeptics that said aspect is in fact fabulous)
