1. When I hear the faction concept, I automatically think of James Madison and how he defines it as a number of citizens (political party) where the two parties the democratic and the republic are organizing to for example work government out or work to win elections. 

2. For example the source of wealth (private property) includes business owner interests, it was stated in the reading Federalist Paper #10 “the rights of property originate, is not less an insuperable obstacle to a uniformity of interests.” This factor explains why some people get to possess wealth by owning private property, and others don’t because of interests, unequal faculties, and from the influence of these on the sentiments and views of the respective proprietors. 

3. I do not agree with this explanation of wealth and poverty because of how the poor remain poor and how wealthy people keep increasing their wealth by possessing wealth by owning private property. 

4. “The diversity in the faculties of men, from which the rights of property originate, is no less an insuperable obstacle to a uniformity of interests.” When these faculties are protected, it is considered to be the first object. 

5. Given the discussion in questions 1-4, I’m not surprised that Federalist #10 is not in favor of democracy, and supports a Republican form of government because of the fact that if Federalist #10 was a democracy then the authority would be a major problem. The author disliked a purely democratic form of government because the author knows that the people will fight who will be at the top. Going back to faction, the citizens that Madison referred to will argue not just for their rights but for what will benefit them. This is why the citizens did not do the decision-making because he knows what will happen then.
