Factions remind me of the division of the poor and the wealthy, an the establishment of social classes that widen the gap of inequality and exclusion in society

Madison argues that people are basically born with the abilities to make them rich or poor, he states “the diversity in the faculties of men, from which the rights of property originate, is not less an insuperable obstacle to a uniformity of interests”. This means that people have certain abilities and that leads to them to become wealthy, which is why economic inequality exists. I don’t agree with this thinking because the cards that people have been dealt are unfair and its more than ability. According to Maslow hierarchy of needs a person needs basic survival needs like food and shelter, but we also need love, esteem and self actualization. Meaning that a person needs more than just a place to stay and something to eat to e successful. They need to be connected with other people, have to be able to express heir creativity, and a need for financial security. Which most of the working class doesn’t have access to, disproving Madison’s theory of everyone cards being dealt and that being fair.

The Core mission of the government is to protect the property of the wealthy. Madison argues “the protection of these faculties which produce property is the first objective of the government.” Which is not surprising seeing as the makers of the constitution didn’t want poor people to vote, because it would disrupt their wealth.

No i’m not surprised because most of the founding fathers were selfish wealthy white men who only cared about keeping their riches and protecting their property. Madison wasn’t in favor of true democracy because it would prove himself to be classist, discriminatory and plain evil. Besides that, he didnt want the poor to get access to his wealth as well as many other wealthy white men at he time
