1. A concept that we have already discussed that fraction reminds me off is
  2. According to James Madison wealth is owning property. The factor that explains why some people get to posses wealth and others don’t is that the founding fathers view the non land owing class as having their own interest and views. They believe these interest and views do not align with the people who already have a hold of wealth. Thus the wealthy do not believe people from a lower class could make decisions that are in the best interest of the wealthy class if they came from no wealth.
  3. I do agree with this explanation of wealth and poverty because it is still present in todays society. Many wealthy people own land and many wealthy people do not believe people who are non land owners have the same interests and desires as them. This leads to the wealthy pushing for laws that benefit them just as the founding fathers did.
  4. The core mission of the US Government or the first object is to protect the property owning class from having different and unequal individuals obtain or take their land. It is to protect the wealthy class from being intruded by the non wealthy class. It is very different from what todays society suggest the core mission of the constitution is. Todays society’s suggest the constitution was made to established justice and freedom for all. In reality it was created to do the exact opposite. It was designed to protect the individuals who created it and to keep the people who did not create it as outsiders.
  5. I am not surprised that the Federalist #10 is not in favor of a democracy. The founding fathers were very afraid of a true democracy. It would mean they would not be able to hold as much power if the people came together. They much more supported a republican representation. They supported this because it made it easer for them to bend the rules in their favor and keep them in charge of the masses. A pure democratic government would give to many people a voice, allowing for the masses to adjust the constitution in ways that would not benefit the people it was created for.
