PLEASE HELP!!!!! PLEASE!

Whether the United States shall continue passive under these…accumulating wrongs, or, opposing force to force in defense of their national rights, shall commit a just cause into the hands of the Almightily Disposer of Events,… is a solemn question which the Constitution wisely confides to the legislative department of the Government. In recommending it to their early deliberations I am happy in the assurance that the decision will be worthy the enlightened and patriotic councils of a virtuous, a free, and a powerful nation.

-President James Madison, Message to Congress, Washington, June 1, 1812

1. How does Madison’s message illustrate the separation of powers between the executive and legislative branches?

Madison influences the idea so that each branch would be balanced by the other. The separation of powers us a result of Congress passing laws. Meaning, each branch would be separated from one another. Madison wanted the powers to be shared amongst the two to make their lives easier basically.
