Q 10: Using the excerpt below, which constitutional principle was established to protect American citizens from the tyranny suggested in
this quotation?
.. No political truth is certainly of greater intrinsic [essential] value, or is stamped with the

The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands,
whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, may justly
be pronounced the very definition of tyranny
--James Madison, The Federalist, Number 47
