"Loyalty of the law-making power to the executive power was one of the dangers the political fathers foretold"

Garet Garrett's quote talks to the importance of the splitting up of powers in a democracy. The Founding Fathers of the United States were well aware of the dangers of having too much power concentrated in one branch of government. They sought to create a system of checks as well as balances to guarantee that nobody branch of government could end up being as well powerful. Garrett's quote suggests that the Founding Fathers were worried that the law-making power of the government might end up being also faithful to the executive power, hence creating an inequality of power. This might result in the executive branch having way too much control over the legislative branch, which could result in a tyranny of the bulk. The Founding Fathers sought to stop this by creating a system of separation of powers, which would make sure that nobody branch of government could become too effective.
