Answer:

In 1970 South Africa has more than 75% reserve of world gold under it soil but by 1985 it has depleted to 6%.

South Africa today has world largest reserve of platinum with over 78% in 2005.

In the same vein, South Africa has large deposit of Chromium.

Madison supposed in balancing the division of powers between the three branches, where their powers were one and the same. Madison stated that a tough and powerful government is wanted, but an inadequate government is also significant where no branch is prevailing. Due to Madison and his thought of checks and balances within the three branches of government, our government is more equipped than it was before. His plan involved getting rid of circumstances where a majority is united by a common interest, where the human rights of the minority are timid.
