- Faction reminds me of the civil rights movement because of individuals coming together and who share a common goal and plan to execute a plan together to achieve that goal.
2. Based on Federalist No. 10, the source of wealth is dependent on a man’s intelligence and skill. As we know and see there are some people who are born into wealth, meaning their families are wealthy and their wealth is passed down to them and they have people/entities that manage their money to help continue to grow their wealth and that wealth will then be passed down from generation to generation. On the other hand, you have people who are not born into wealth and they continue the same cycle as their parents and the only way to break it is to do different and start your family off on a path to wealth. Unfortunately, this is a hard cycle to break but it doesn’t mean it can’t be done.
3. I do not agree with this explanation because I don’t believe how smart you are is what determines whether or not you are poor or rich. There are plenty of people who are wealthy, but aren’t intelligent and there are plenty of people who are not wealthy, but are extremely intelligent.
4. The core mission of the US government was to protect the faculties, who are the citizens who had acquired wealth. This doesn’t surprise me because this is something that our government continues to put first. If I think about how citizens are taxed every year and compare it to what their income is, its actually insane, We live in a world where the rich will continue to get richer off of the backs of the working class.
5. No, I am not surprised that the writer of Federalist #10 is not in favor of democracy because that would mean a shift or change in the social order. Having a democracy would give minorities and those who weren’t in the wealthy circles a little more power and they would vote for things that suited their lives, which meant this would have power away from the upper class and what they wanted or believed in.
