This sentiment was later echoed by James Madison's statement that, "mbition must be made to counteract ambition," in Federalist No. 51, explaining the separation of powers established under the new Constitution.
Denne holdning blev senere gentaget i James Madisons berømte udtalelse om at "ambitioner må tvinges til at modvirke ambitioner" i The Federalist No. 51, som forklaring af magtdelingen i de forskellige grene af styret under den nye forfatning.
