Answer 5-100

• In order to lay a due foundation for that
  separate and distinct exercise of the different
  powers of government, it is evident that each
  department should have a will of its own... But
  the great security against a gradual
  concentration of the several powers in the same
  department consists in giving to those who
  administer each department the necessary
  constitutional means and personal motives to
  resist encroachments infringements of the
  others In framing a government which is to be
  administered by men over men, the great
  difficulty lies in this you must first enable
  the government to control the governed and in
  the next place oblige it to control itself
  
  
  We see it
  particularly displayed in all the distributions
  of power, where the constant aim is to divide and
  arrange the several offices in such a manner as
  that each may be a check on the other.

  encourage?
• Allowing the branches of the government to have
  some control over each other (checks and
  balances)
