James Madison's view on separation of powers

Question

Why does James Madison reject the “perfect” separation of powers? Do you consider his use of the example of the British constitutional system to be fair? Given the political situation at the time

Answer 1

Madison rejected a perfect set of seperations of powers mainly Federalist 51, where he says specifically that the legislative branch should be the strongest, and that keeping all three branches seperate is a fundamental presevation of liberty as if limited tyranny. However, he did not want a perfect seperation of powers so that all branches could come together with the same goal of helping the people. He said specifically that serving the high interests of the people could maintain seperation, as people surrender some of their power to the branches. But necessarily, what this all means in the context of your question is that Madison did not want a perfect system so that the system could once and for all listen to the people.
