“Were this principle rigorously adhered to, it would require that all the appointments for the supreme executive, legislative, and judiciary magistracies should be drawn from the same fountain of authority, the people, through channels having no communication whatever with one another” “The interest of the man must be connected with the constitutional rights of the place.” Federalist 51
This works for the American government and makes it work because it puts the people in charge. It let’s the people make the decisions though the government still does all of the legal decision making it helps the people feel as if they are more involved and have all the power. One’s interests must be constitutional to the government meaning that American citizens must always follow the government laws, which makes a great nation because it keeps people in order. This is pretty much saying that one must follow the law and the new laws or interests one proposes must follow what is constitutionally correct.

“The diversity in the faculties of men, from which the rights of property originate, is not less an insuperable obstacle to a uniformity of interests. The protection of these faculties is the first object of government.” Federalist 10

This makes the American government work because it protects everybody’s right to property. It allows one to buy and sell property to their own advantage and use and doesn’t allow the government to steal their property away when it wants or needs it. This system is a check and balances system for the people and it eliviates stress and pressure on the people to make their land profitable in fear of losing it.
