1. What concept that we have already discussed does “faction” remind you of?

Faction is a small organized dissenting group within a larger one, especially in politics. Which is probably why the faction reminds me of political parties. It’s a group who have the same ideas or same shared goals and want to be brought together as one to accomplish them or to at least see some type of change. 

2. According to Federalist #10 (written by James Madison), what is the source of wealth (private property)? What factor explains why some people get to possess wealth by owning private property, and others don’t (thus remaining poor)? This is a key question, because it shows how the authors of the Constitution thought about the difference between different classes of Americans! HINT: focus on the passage that begins: “The diversity in the faculties (WHAT DOES FACULTIES mean or refer to?) of men, from which the rights of property originate, is not les….”

Not everyone has the same opportunities to become wealthy. Being born into a wealthy family you are basically handed down the money through inheriting it. You wouldn’t have to work as hard as others to get what you want. On the other hand not everybody has the privilege to have money basically given to them. Poorer people have to work for the lifestyle they work sometimes they may even have to work more than one job to be able to provide for themselves and family. 

3. Do you agree with this explanation of wealth and poverty?

I do  agree with the explanation because people are born into wealth while others have to struggle. Nine out of ten percent of the time the poorer people  are the ones who are working for the ones who were born into rich families. 

4. What is the core mission (“first object”) of the US government? Does this surprise you, does it sound different from what our society today seems to suggest the core mission of the government is? Explain.

Their core mission is the promotion of general welfare. In today’s society welfare is meant to help the public . Giving them benefits for health, peace and safety. This help has especially helped those who are not financially stable to provide for themselves. And with the help it gives them a hand in their everyday life.  

5. Given the discussion in questions 1-4, are you surprised that Federalist #10 is not in favor of democracy, and supports a Republican (representative) form of government? Why would the author dislike a (pure) democratic form of government? Hint: think about how this question connects with the social classes…

No , federalist #10 favors a Republican (Representative) form of government  because it demonstrates that the proposed government was not likely to be dominated by any faction.

1. What concept that we have already discussed does “faction” remind you of?

Faction reminds one of a group or clique within a larger organization that has a shared interest or goal.Political parties, businesses, and even churches can all experience the schism that results from the presence of a faction. Faction formation is associated with increased potential for intragroup strife and conflict.

2. According to Federalist #10 (written by James Madison), what is the source of wealth (private property)? What factor explains why some people get to possess wealth by owning private property, and others don’t (thus remaining poor)? This is a key question, because it shows how the authors of the Constitution thought about the difference between different classes of Americans! HINT: focus on the passage that begins: “The diversity in the faculties (WHAT DOES FACULTIES mean or refer to?) of men, from which the rights of property originate, is not les….”

The source of wealth is private property. Some people are born into wealthy families and have the opportunity to inherit their wealth, while others are born into poor families and don’t have the same opportunity.

3.Do you agree with this explanation of wealth and poverty?

I do agree with it because its true most families have built wealth and the there’s communities who are just born into poverty because of capitalism.

4.What is the core mission (“first object”) of the US government? Does this surprise you, does it sound different from what our society today seems to suggest the core mission of the government is? Explain.

The promotion of the general welfare of the populace is the US government’s primary goal. No, they are not surprised by it. Promoting the general welfare of the populace has always been the main goal of the US government. This is seen from the numerous policies, plans, and services the government offers its people, such as social security, healthcare, education, and infrastructure.

No, Federalist #10 favors a Republican (representative) form of government and opposes democracy. A pure democracy is opposed by the author of Federalist #10 because he thinks it breeds division and civil conflict.
