To what expedient then shall we finally resort, for maintaining in practice the necessary partition of power among the several departments, as laid down in the constitution? the only answer that can be given is, that as all these exterior provisions are found to be inadequate, the defect must be supplied, by so contriving the interior structure of the government, as that its several constituent parts may, by their mutual relations, be the means of keeping each other in their proper places.

More From James Madison

What is to be the consequence, in case the congress shall misconstrue this part [the necessary and proper clause] of the constitution and exercise powers not warranted by its true meaning, i answer the same as if they should misconstrue or enlarge any other power vested in them . . . the success of the usurpation will depend on the executive and judiciary departments, which are to expound and give effect to the legislative acts; and in a last resort a remedy must be obtained from the people, who can by the elections of more faithful representatives, annul the acts of the usurpers.

Even under the british there were hostile groups. there were clashes. but, as we found out later, these were clashes provoked by those who had no wish to let us live together - on the eve of the partition. the policy of keeping us divided was always followed by foreigners, even after the partition. if indians and pakistanis had been together...i don't say as confederated countries but as neighboring and friendly countries...like italy and france, for example ...believe me, both of us would have progressed much further.

Do not several sorts of rays make vibrations of several bignesses, which according to their bigness excite sensations of several colours, much after the manner that the vibrations of the air, according to their several bignesses excite sensations of several sounds? and particularly do not the most refrangible rays excite the shortest vibrations for making a sensation of deep violet, the least refrangible the largest form making a sensation of deep red, and several intermediate sorts of rays, vibrations of several intermediate bignesses to make sensations of several intemediate colours?

As the people are the only legitimate fountain of power, and it is from them that the constitutional charter, under which the several branches of government hold their power, is derived, it seems strictly consonant to the republican theory, to recur to the same original authority, not only whenever it may be necessary to enlarge, diminish, or new-model the powers of the government, but also whenever any one of the departments may commit encroachments on the chartered authorities of the others.

If the structure that serves as a template (the gene or virus molecule) consists of, say, two parts, which are themselves complementary in structure, then each of these parts can serve as the mould for the production of a replica of the other part, and the complex of two complementary parts thus can serve as the mould for the production of duplicates of itself.

The only difficulty is that i'm playing to two audiences, and it's too bad the noise detracts from the show, because it's a great show. i've seen my own self out there, and it's a very good musical show. sometimes the show gets lost in the hysteria and sometimes it doesn't.
