Read the quote from james madison.
if men were angels, no government would be necessary. . in framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place, oblige it to control itself.
the main idea that madison addresses is why the us government
(a) is needed.
(b) must control people.
(c) is not needed.
(d) must not control people.

Option (a) is correct.

Explanation:

In the lines stated in comprehension, Madison tries to impart the message that if men were flawless, then there will be no need for the establishment of government since from this point onward there will be no discord, crime, or injustices.

On the other hand, in a real life scenario no man is "perfect", we aren't enlightened enough to harmoniously build and manage a society.

Therefore a government is needed.
