"Forcing actors to bargain and contend and collaborate slows precipitous change by requiring multiple checkpoints, but it also, just as importantly, ensures change by requiring constant negotiations between shifting constellations of actors. To break deadlock, actors need to make new arguments, try new ideas, recruit new supporters, find new allies, and take new steps to mollify old allies. The search for sweeteners and workarounds and allies rewards innovation and ingenuity. Compromise, in Madison's scheme, is thus a positive dynamic force, not merely a negative restraining force."
