Oblige it to control itself

Reference no: EM13189161

In Federalist No. 51, Madison writes, "In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself." What does he mean by "oblige it to control itself"? How do Madison and the Federalists propose doing this in the new government of the United States? Compare the Federalist arguments about how to control the government to those of the AntiFederalists.
