1. A concept that reminds me of a faction is social classes. For example, the upper and lower class both have their own different goals that aim to benefit them.

2. In Federalist Paper #10, it expresses that the source of attaining or maintaining wealth depends on the facilities of a man. What he means by this is in order to be successful in acquiring wealth, you yourself must have the ability and resources to do so and this can mainly come from being born into a wealthy family. Some may be able to acquire wealth from private property due to this very reason, while others who do not have any wealth or power to back them up will fail.

3. While this is the harsh reality of acquiring wealth, I do agree that this is how the system works. It would be difficult to come from a lower class family and manage to become wealthy.

4. The first object in the US government is the protection of facilities. This does come off as surprising to me as it wouldn’t be the first thing I would’ve thought of. It is different from today’s US government as the property of facilities is not a priority nor is it favored over the other issues in the United States.

5. I am not surprised that Federalist Paper #10 goes against democracy as I am aware there were prior fears of democracy among the Founding Fathers. The author had probably went against democracy because it was not in favor of the upper class. Democracy was spreading amongst the people who were not of wealth and their ideal government did not benefit them, which is why they were against it.
