The concept of faction reminds me of when we went over the concept of \u201cideology.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2. I believe that James Madison pointed out the fact that some people rely on their beliefs when it comes to getting private property or not . That means that some people hold themselves from acquiring private property because they don&#8217;t have the same opportunity as others to try to get private property. When he uses the word \u201cfaculties\u201d I think that he is referring to the different ways of how people\u2019s think, their beliefs and their point of view.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3. I agree. I think that this explanation actually describes why the rich are getting richer by benefiting from the working class\u2019s effort. I do believe that of course, wealthy people are more likely to have a more open mindset in business, why is why they are not afraid of investing their money and keep getting profit out of that.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">4. The core mission of the US government is to protect the faculties discussed in the article by James Madison. It surprised me because I thought that the core mission of the government was related to citizen;s safety or something like that, but apparently that is not the case lol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">5. No, I\u2019m not surprised. That doesn&#8217;t surprise me because it is not a secret that a democratic government doesn&#8217;t benefit private property. When I say private property I\u2019m not only talking about the upper class, I\u2019m also referring to company\u2019s owners, or people that own little businesses but that still have their own employees. I also believe that a republic form of government is the one that maintains the social class structure that we all live in the United States today. A system where the benefits are just a few ones who are the same ones who basically own almost the whole nation\u2019s fortune.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1.
