Answer:

The quote by James Madison supports the principle of the separation of powers, like in the American government the division of the government between the three branches; executive, legislative, and judicial. If the United States government wasn't divided between the three branches (powers weren't separated) then people in power would have the ability to easily abuse the power that they were given. If all the power rested in the hand of a single branch there would be fewer opinions and less representatives of the people. The people would be represented by a small few that would be less likely to be truly representative of the people  

If the government consisted of a single branch, it would create the same chaos that the British American people had attempted to eradicate so many years before. With only a few representatives, the power that the few in high positions would hold would be a dangerous amount. Madison's quote reflects this, saying that too much power in a single place can "[endanger] liberty". America needs a government that doesn't have a concentration of power in one branch or any other single place, but a variety of representatives that have the opportunity to check the power of the other branches as well as split the powers and responsibilities.

This quote supports separation of powers as the point of the separation of powers is to prevent the abuse of power. Instead of having all 3 powers gathered around just one entity, the power is separated to build a system of checks and balances. It also supports the limited government principle in the same manner. Government's power should be limited so as to prevent its abuse.

Why did abortion become a central consideration in the appointment of the surpreme court justices?
Grace [21]

Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113 (1973), is a landmark decision by the United States Supreme Court on the issue of abortion. It was decided simultaneously with a companion case, Doe v. Bolton. The Court ruled 7–2 that a right to privacyunder the Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment extended to a woman's decision to have an abortion, but that this right must be balanced against the state's interests in regulating abortions: protecting women's health and protecting the potentiality of human life.[1] Arguing that these state interests became stronger over the course of a pregnancy, the Court resolved this balancing test by tying state regulation of abortion to the third trimester of pregnancy.

Later, in Planned Parenthood v. Casey (1992), the Court rejected Roe's trimester framework while affirming its central holding that a woman has a right to abortion until fetal viability.[2] The Roe decision defined "viable" as "potentially able to live outside the mother's womb, albeit with artificial aid."[3] Justices in Casey acknowledged that viability may occur at 23 or 24 weeks, or sometimes even earlier, in light of medical advances.[4]

In disallowing many state and federal restrictions on abortion in the United States,[5][6] Roe v. Wade prompted a national debate that continues today about issues including whether, and to what extent, abortion should be legal, who should decide the legality of abortion, what methods the Supreme Court should use in constitutional adjudication, and what the role should be of religious and moral views in the political sphere. Roe v. Wade reshaped national politics, dividing much of the United States into pro-abortion and anti-abortion camps, while activating grassroots movements on both sides.
