Question

In the federalist 39, James Madison explained this: "The house of representative, like that of one branch at least of all the State Legislatures, is elected immediately by the body of the people..." Which principle best describes Madison's argument about the federal government?

Answer 1

Answer:

The principle of representative democracy

Explanation:

In Federalist 39, James Madison is defending the principle of representative democracy. This principle establishes the government as a body that represents the people, and that has power because people have consented to it. This means that if people did not want that government, they would have the right to depose it and change it. In other words, in a representative democracy, sovereignty comes from the people and not fom the government.
