The Federalist Paper number 51 is titled "The Structure of the Government Must Furnish the Proper Checks and Balances Between the Different Departments." This paper basically talks about how checks and balances should be set up in order to establish an equal balance of power. It also talks about how we should go about the separation of powers for the National Government. It talks about how the Legistlative brance is the most powerful and should therefore be separated into different parts so get that equal balance of power.
I think this paper deserves to be in the top papers. It states a lot of things that we have, for instance the legistive system. We have a bicameral legislature, which means that there are two houses that decide things in it. This document was a little more interesting than #10 because I was more understandable to read. Oh, and this paper was also written by James Madison.
