Question

What does this quote mean from Federalist NO. 70 “All men of sense will agree in the necessity of an energetic executive … The ingredients which constitute energy in the executive are unity; duration; an adequate provision for its support; and competent powers.” I really need help!

It was entitled as "The executive department further considered". In your statement about a certain line or series of sentences in that essay, it implies the ingredients or the standard or the elements that should be present in an Executive sense of government and how long or far would it last to coincide with other type of government.
