1.In Federalist #10, James Madison discusses the concept of “balance between liberty and order”

2. In Federalist No 10, for example, James Madison identifies private property as the source of
   mankind’s material prosperity and explains diversity of interests and capacities as the reason
   why some people are rich while others are poor. Man’s ‘talents for satisfaction are very
   different’, and so is his goal setting and opportunity to advance himself. The resulting inequality
   is important because inequality leads to the formation of factions whose exercise of power can
   curtail the rights of the less fortunate, which is why a strongly constituted, representative
   government can help to diffuse these tensions and secure the rights of the governed. Again, this
   sense of the founders’ consternation before such a dilemma – their idealism counterposed with their vigilance – explains why they did not believe that mere liberty alone, or even a measure of material prosperity, was either enough to guarantee their ‘free state’ or to support the holiness of their cause.
3. I do so agree to that very sensible explanation which is given of such riches and poverty as may exist among a people of civilization, in Federalist No 10.Among many things, Madison has identified private property – itself the source of material wealth – as ‘the principal seat of the passions’, which must be accommodated by civic society in its management of differences that will inevitably arise. Madison thus foreshadows volumes of subsequent truths about the dynamics of inequality: that ‘the diversity of talents, of genius, and of temperament, which nature has implanted in man’, is true and inherent. And that the above-mentioned differences as well as cultural prejudices are endemic to a complex and sophisticated society. Accordingly, ‘the latent causes of faction’ will always be ‘the same with what are his understanding that material wealth alone – or the liberty and system of civic laws secured by a republican government – cannot inevitably or certainly guarantee a just republic, must be the guiding principle for a constitutional republic under which the many will be governed, not by the few, but by elected representatives representative of a citizenry divided by differing interests. The sages among us are mindful and alert to the crises that may arise from inequalities in the distribution and accumulation of property, and additional pitfalls that exist for any system of local self- government that can devolve into the politics of a faction. It is the foreknowledge of their dangers that keeps a society stable and free. If those dangers become eclipsed, a system of republican government cannot endure.
4. The primary goal, or “first object,” of the U.S. government is to protect the rights of the people, and above all, the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness as is outlined in the constitutional documents. Some may find this statement surprising because in fact, contemporary
   discourse tends to center on much wider concerns such as economic development, state welfare
   and general order. In fact, many today may see the government as dealing with these common
   issues, for which such actions were made, versus only the individual civil rights and liberties, no
   matter how important they are. This sort of brings out the transformation of the focus of values;
   instead of protecting individual rights which was the aim in the beginning, in modern debates,
   there is always the aspect of who takes care of the individual rights and the social obligations.
   Similarly, this changing comprehension raises a few interesting challenges about the current day
   government capacity to determine how well it can discharge its primary function.
5. It might come as a surprise that Federalist No. 10 endorses a republican form rather than the
   pure democracy Accepted by many Americans. Democracies were, therefore, looked with
   suspicion by Madison and the framers. The reasons for this suspicion were because of the
   dangers of pure democracy, since the political minorities’ rights would be trenched easily
   thundering the tyranny of the majority. Madison, yeah those were the times when… felt that
   since the populace would exercise direct democracy, there would be factions which would clash and fight over issues and lose sight of the greater good, which was the interests of the nation, drowned by the silly tempers of the majority. In republican forms of government, there are representatives elected to take such decisions which, in turn, has a larger effect of balancing various aspects and also protecting the rights of the individuals.  Whereas in the latter one, Madison hoped that he would provide the means to cope with the diversity including inequality while also protecting the rights of all citizens and more importantly, how the founding ideals were to avert chaos.
