Madison claimed that private rights and public good would be best protected in a single large republic rather than a mélange of small republics. Do I agree? Yes, absolutely, I agree. There's no strength in division; it is pretty obvious that in unity is strength. Just think for a seconds what will become of the United States if there are 52 countries in North America? India would be more developed had Pakistan and Bangladesh not broken off from India. Yes, public good should be protected in a large republic rather than a string of small republics.
