- The term “faction” reminds me of groups that have different opinions or interests within a larger society. It relates to how different people can have their own goals that might conflict with others.
- According to Federalist #10, wealth comes from owning private property. Some people can get wealthy by owning property because they have different skills and talents. “Faculties” refers to the abilities or skills that people have, which means that not everyone has the same chances to earn money or succeed.
- I can see why this explanation makes sense because it shows how individual skills and opportunities affect wealth. However, I think it also misses how larger social problems can keep some people poor.
- The main job of the US government is to protect the rights and property of its citizens. This might surprise some people because it seems different from the idea that the government should focus on helping everyone equally.
- I’m not surprised that Federalist #10 prefers a representative government over pure democracy. The author believes that if everyone votes directly, the majority might ignore the rights of the minority, especially the wealthy. This shows a concern about how different social classes can affect power and decision-making.
