NEED HELP ASAP IN MIDDLE OF TEST RN PLZ HELP  11 POINTS !!!!!!

Read the quote from James Madison.

If men were angels, no government would be necessary. . . . In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place, oblige it to control itself.

The main idea that Madison addresses is why the US government

1)is needed.
2)must control people.
3)is not needed.
4)must not control people.
