James Madison stated that auxiliary precautions are necessary because humans aren't angels.

And I quote James Madison, actually, when I talk about oversight, because his specific verbiage is, you know, auxiliary cautions are necessary, auxiliary precautions. You know, humans, he says, men aren't angels, therefore auxiliary precautions are necessary to keep their ambitions in check, which means external oversight. He's exactly right.
