Why is it that the principle of separation of powers has become so entrenched in a strict manner that the yearning for accountability from the enforcers or administrators of the government is nowhere to be seen?

"A better choice could not have been made" James Madison, talking about Gouverneur Morris as the choice for the writer of the Constitution. Madison may have been one of the Framers of the Constitution, however, he was not the writer of the Constitution.

Oh you silly federalist..glossing over the hold outs that forced Madison's hand..Rhode Island and New Hampshire...which state also held out until the promise was made? Kinda give Montesquieu no intellectual credit and Jefferson zero credit for collaborating with Madison in the vid. All hail the 10th :)
