Answer:
Madison explains why the United States government is partly national in character (meaning a government over a consolidation of all the states and the whole of the American people) as well as partly federal (a government over several sovereign states.)
Explanation:
The correct answer is A. National Labor Relations Act.
The National Labor Relations Act, passed in 1935, is a federal law that gave private sector employees significant rights in the work place. These rights include the ability to join a union without penalty, the ability to collectively bargain with their employers over wages, and the opportunity to take collective action (like striking) against their employers if the conditions/wages are not up to par. This was history in the making, as laborers had been fighting for legal rights like this since the late 19th century.
This statement by James Madison argues that men are not perfect, and that human nature can be flawed. He believes government exists in order to control and limit the impact of these flaws.
One example is the separation of powers. The principle of the separation of powers states that power must be divided among different branches of government. The branches limit and control each other, and safeguard against the abuse of a tyrant. If people were not corrupted by power, or did not have a tendency to abuse power for their own gain, then the separation of powers would not be necessary. However, because human nature is flawed, these measures are necessary in government.
