1. Faction reminds me of people’s beliefs and how everyone believes in something different. 
2. According to Federalist #10, people that are wealthy by owning property are different in skills and their talents.”Facilities” refer to different skills people have. Everyone can’t make the same money or succeed. 
3. I agree and disagree with the wealthy and poverty because it shows the opportunities that affect the wealthy. They don’t show the problem social can cause the poor people when they always butting the wealthy people first. 
4. The core mission of the U.S government is to form “the protection of different and unequal faculties of acquiring property, the possession of different degrees and kinds of property immediately results; and from the influence of these on the sentiments and views of the respective proprietors, ensues a division of the society into different interests and parties . .“ They are similar because today we have two  parties that divide us and they also had two parties that divide them.  
5. I’m not surprised that Federalist #10 is not in favor of Democracy and supports Republicans because they don’t want everyone to vote and ignore the rights of the wealthy and minority. Showing us the different social class and how their power and decision making plays a big part

1. What concept that we have already discussed does “faction” remind you of?

The concept of “faction” in Federalist Paper No. 10 reminds me the Marxism Capitalist.  Both say that social divisions come from competing interests, mostly economic ones. Both also acknowledge that these conflicts can lead to fight for power, with factions or classes fighting for their own interests at the expense of others. Lastly, both they show how economic interests shape political dynamics and contribute to social differences.

2. According to Federalist #10 (written by James Madison), what is the source of wealth (private property)? What factor explains why some people get to possess wealth by owning private property, and others don’t (thus remaining poor)? This is a key question, because it shows how the authors of the Constitution thought about the difference between different classes of Americans! HINT: focus on the passage that begins: “The diversity in the faculties (WHAT DOES FACULTIESmean or refer to?) of men, from which the rights of property originate, is not les….”

In Federalist Paper No. 10, Madison identifies the source of wealth is the right to own property. He explains that the rights to property comes from the diversity in the faculties of men, meaning that individuals possess different abilities, talents, and skills that allow them to acquire and manage property in different ways. This is also the factor that explains why some people possess wealth by owning private property. The rich have access for education, resources, and rights that protects their interests. while the poor don’t, which makes the rich more likely to succeed in gaining wealth, while the poor may find it more challenging, resulting in unequal distributions of wealth.

3. Do you agree with this explanation of wealth and poverty?

I agree that individual differences in talents and skills can influence economic success. With that said, this simplifies wealth and poverty by ignoring factors like inequalities, discrimination, family background and luck.

4. What is the core mission (“first object”) of the US government? Does this surprise you, does it sound different from what our society today seems to suggest the core mission of the government is? Explain.

The core mission ( “first object”) of the U.S. government, as mentioned in Federalist Paper No. 10, is the protection of property rights and the protection of different faculties that allow individuals to gain and manage property. It doesn’t surprise me because of the American capitalist ideology, but I believe that today the government should focus on addressing social issues and reducing inequality.

5. Given the discussion in questions 1-4, are you surprised that Federalist #10 is not in favor of democracy, and supports a Republican (representative) form of government? Why would d the author dislike a (pure) democratic form of government? Hint: think about how this question connects with the social classes…

Yes, it is surprising that Federalist Paper No. 10 favors a republican (representative) form of government over democracy. Madison’s thinks that in democracy the majority faction could force its ideology on minority groups, ignoring their rights and interests. Madison argues that a republican system, with elected representatives, can control better by ensuring that a broader range of interests is considered. This approach, according to Madison, is more cautious in a diverse society.

1.Factions seem pretty similar to societal classes. In the same manner as factionalism, interest within social classes is rather motivated as opposed to general interest.

2.Madison views social wealth as coming from diversified faculties (skills and abilities that people possess). People who possess some skills and talents gain property and wealth, while persons who lack these faculties continue to be poor. The framers of the two institutions expected and desired this division.

3.While I partially agree with this explanation, on the one hand, skills, and hard work contribute to earning boosts, but on the other hand, factors such as education and resource allocation result in inequality of wealth distribution, so the system turns out to be unjust for many.

4.The core mission of the U.S. government as outlined in Federalist No. 10, is to protect property rights. This deviation is apparent because the writers were keen to safeguard the interests of the wealthy property-owning class. But today, people see the government’s activity in terms of equity and social justice.

5.I am not surprised that Federalist No. 10 argued for a republican form of governance against pure democracy. The framers desired the concentrated power of the wealth and property owners, which they felt threatened by direct democracy.
