Why Does the American Form of Government Work?

Why Does the American Form of Government Work? 

"The second expedient is as impracticable as the first would be unwise. As long as the reason of man continues fallible, and he is at liberty to exercise it, different opinions will be formed. As long as the connection subsists between his reason and his self-love, his opinions and his passions will have a reciprocal influence on each other; and the former will be objects to which the latter will attach themselves. The diversity in the faculties of men, from which the rights of property originate, is not less an insuperable obstacle to a uniformity of interests. The protection of these faculties is the first object of government. From the protection of different and unequal faculties of acquiring property, the possession of different degrees and kinds of property immediately results; and from the influence of these on the sentiments and views of the respective proprietors, ensues a division of the society into different interests and parties." (Federalists 10).

In this faction they talk about how although they may not like the difference of opinions that are being formed, it is there right to be able to form them with out persecution. He states that "The diversity in the faculties of men, from which the rights of property originate, is not less an insuperable obstacle to a uniformity of interests."  Here he is showing that even though this variant opinions may causes roadblocks for America in the making, its what makes America unique against these uninformative messages that old parliaments like Britain force upon there people. He goes on to say that because America does not use a hierarchy they still are divisible bases on the there beliefs and proprietors. Although he continues on about the difference in opinion and how there are classes America is not divided and will not be divided because people feel heard. When people don't feel heard they retaliate against whom ever is not weather it be the government or a certain group of people. America is structured so everyone can have an opinion without discrimination.

"In order to lay a due foundation for that separate and distinct exercise of the different powers of government, which to a certain extent is admitted on all hands to be essential to the preservation of liberty, it is evident that each department should have a will of its own; and consequently should be so constituted that the members of each should have as little agency as possible in the appointment of the members of the others. Were this principle rigorously adhered to, it would require that all the appointments for the supreme executive, legislative, and judiciary magistracies should be drawn from the same fountain of authority, the people, through channels having no communication whatever with one another. Perhaps such a plan of constructing the several departments would be less difficult in practice than it may in contemplation appear. Some difficulties, however, and some additional expense would attend the execution of it. Some deviations, therefore, from the principle must be admitted. In the constitution of the judiciary department in particular, it might be inexpedient to insist rigorously on the principle: first, because peculiar qualifications being essential in the members, the primary consideration ought to be to select that mode of choice which best secures these qualifications; secondly, because the permanent tenure by which the appointments are held in that department, must soon destroy all sense of dependence on the authority conferring them." (Federalists 51)

Madison in this faction talks about his theory he is trying to implement called the theory of separation powers. He talks about having a government that is consistent of three branches: executive, legislative, and judiciary, in order to lay the first level of foundation. Madison goes on to support his claim of multiple branches by saying that having to many departments of authority would confuse people and make communications harder between all party's. Having an this layout for the government would make lines very black and white no need for interpretation. He goes to say that although the lines are drawn in the sand so clearly there is no need for communication between any of the three branches and that no one branch is able to interfere or encroach upon other affairs in different jurisdiction.
