Why did james madison agrue that checks and balances and serpation of power were needed?

For these reasons:

- larger states would overpower the representation of smaller states

- He felt ever state needed to be equally represented

- By using checks and balances every one of the three branches could keep each other in its proper place

- Separation of powers was able to give every branch its own unique position to handle the duties that call under it
