true
false

Explanation:

• For Question 3: The delegates at the 1787 Constitutional Convention were influenced by Enlightenment ideas. Many, like Madison, believed in a system of checks - and - balances precisely because they had a realistic (not necessarily cynical) view of human nature. They thought power could corrupt, so they designed a system to limit power.
• For Question 4: In James Madison's Federalist No. 10, he clearly states that "the most common and durable source of factions has been the various and unequal distribution of property".

Answer:

Question 3: B. False
Question 4: A. True
