The passage below about government is from Federalist No. 51.
"If men were angles, no government would be necessary. If angles were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. . .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."
