1. Faction reminds me of a concept of social class. A faction is based on a small organized dissenting group within a larger one, especially in politics. A term the founders used to refer to political parties and special interests or interest groups. Faction reminds me of Different parties like Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians, and Conservatives are examples of factions in today’s world.
  2. According to Federalist #10 (written by James Madison), the source of wealth (private property) is a superior intelligence. The reason I say this is because Federalist #10 explains how they believe only in intelligent smart people, the ones that are born intelligent, the ones that are intelligent enough to find a way to become wealthy. Superior intelligence is caused by the person that is a member of the superior race. The superior race is very racist and we live in a racist society that apart from our origin, Race plays an important role in today’s society because it is one of the biggest influences played by racist beliefs in American society which is the difference between poverty and wealth. Some people are born into wealthy families and some are born into families that struggle to make ends meet and still have a good life.
  3. I agree with the explanation of poverty and wealth because some people are raised in poverty because they are born into a capitalist community while the wealthy are born into riches that their past generation left behind. For example, the duchess and queens, dukes, and kings of the country are wealthy families. The working class gets exploited by the wealthy people (the owning class) to get credit for their work and make profits off of their hard labor which they exchange for money to help their family and to be able to make ends meet and be stable.
  4. The core mission of the U.S Government is to make sure the wealthy get wealthier whereas the working people continue to struggle all their life to even make it past being in poverty. I think society hasn’t changed that much since their ‘first object’ because the government still thinks that way, during the presidential campaigns they always take about how they will make sure America has everything they need but immigrants and people in poverty still struggle; On one hand, immigrants can at least get DACA which permits them to study in college without getting in legal problems. But that’s only a small percentage The U.S Government’s core mission is always based on winning and having wealthy people take over politics because they are afraid that the working class might gain that power over them they make their fortune in real estate, corporations, and business off the work the working class exchanges for money.
  5. No, I think Federalists #10 are similar to republicans in the way that they think they are in a superior race and how they don’t like democracy. Democracy is in a way a good thing for our government because it will make everyone equal, whereas a Federalist party only thinks about their wealth and status.
