The concept that we have already discussed does “faction” remind me of social class since they are different groups divided by interest or goals.

James Madison explains that people have different abilities. His argument is that people with more opportunities can lead to people to own property and wealth. While others who don’t have those opportunities can’t. 

In my opinion, I believe it depends. I can come to terms with James Madison’s explanation and how skills and opportunities can factor in someone’s life. But not abilities alone explain how someone can be rich and other people be poor.

The core mission of the US government is protection of secure property rights. It doesn’t surprise me since I believe they are protecting rights because they were wealthy who didn’t want to have things risked and only wanted to secure their own wealth. The constitution was made to “prevent” chaos. They saw social order by safeguarding their property.  

No, I am not surprised that James Madison opposed democracy because he feared people using their political powers against a minority group. This was a direct treat to poetry rights for farmers and he wanted to protect the privileged classes.
