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.

How did the Bessemer process contribute to the development of Carnegie’s monopoly?
yarga [219]

The Bessemer process was the first inexpensive industrial process for the mass-production of steel from molten pig iron prior to the open hearth furnace. The key principle is removal of impurities from the iron by oxidation with air being blown through the molten iron. The oxidation also raises the temperature of the iron mass and keeps it molten.

Related decarburizing with air processes had been used outside of Europe for hundreds of years, but not on an industrial scale.[1] One such process has existed since the 11th century in East Asia, where the scholar Shen Kuo describes its use in the Chinese iron and steel industry.[2][3] In the 17th century, accounts by European travelers detailed its possible use by the Japanese.[4]

The modern process is named after its inventor, the Englishman Henry Bessemer, who took out a patent on the process in 1856.[5] The process was claimed to be independently discovered in 1851 by the American inventor William Kelly,[4][6] though there is little to back up this claim.[7][8][9][10]

The process using a basic refractory lining is known as the "basic Bessemer process" or "Gilchrist-Thomas process" after the discoverer Sidney Gilchrist Thomas
