If you said separation of powers, you got it! Remember that separation of powers was an Enlightenment idea. Madison wanted the powers of government separated between the branches. No branch would have more power than the others. In the quote, he points out that if the judicial branch could also make and enforce laws, it could threaten the citizens well-being ("behave with violence").

Judicial review refers only to the judicial branch. Popular sovereignty means the people have the power in government. This idea is not discussed in the quote. Checks and balances means that each branch has certain ways to limit the power of the other branches. Keep reading to learn more!
