Resumo

The Madisonian maxim appears in a passage of the Federalist defending constitutional controls on the size of the proposed House of Representatives.In using it here, I do not mean to suggest that Madison foresaw or could have foreseen that the possibility that the mob mentality against which he sought to guard could arise in smaller, arguably unrepresentative bodies such as the Supreme Court.
