Cevap

The correct comparison is that Federalist No. 51 argues that separation of powers and checks and balances protect liberty, while Brutus No. 1 argues that a large, centralized republic leads to tyranny because representatives are too distant from the people.
The correct comparison correctly states the central thesis of Federalist No. 51—that dividing power among branches (separation of powers) and giving them the means to check one another prevents tyranny—and matches it with the central thesis of Brutus No. 1—that a large, centralized republic distances representatives from constituents, leading to elite rule and tyranny.
