      Hi Alys! Thank you for the compliment to Janine! You are correct that Janine did write an essay on Federalist #51, but she is not the answer we are looking for today, as she wrote essays on all 85 Federalist Papers in our series.

      We hope you come back and keep participating with us, though, because we have lots more quiz questions planned!

      Sincerely,
      Cathy Gillespie
