Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In support of the constitution, Madison said that power is divided between two distinct governments; these governments meant between Federalism ( Federal and State governments) and Branches ( which are the legislature, judicial and executive arm).

He argued that with these distinct government roles, the people will feel safe and there will be checks and balances against a tyrant.
