1. After the reading, “Factions” reminds me of citizens with different political ideologies.
  2. According to Fedralist #10, the source of wealth is superior intelligence, those who are really smart, have intelligent genes and they are in superior race. The difference between wealthy person and poor person is the difference between smart person who is highly intelligent and is a descendant of a superior race and a poor person is a dumb person who is from a inferior class. Wealthy people get to possess wealth by owning private property because they are smart and others remains poor because they are dumb.
  3. I do not agree with the definition of wealth and poverty.
  4. The core mission of US government is to protect the wealth of the elite class and to enforce the difference between elite class and working class. This does not surprise me at all. This sounds same from what our society today seems to suggest the core mission of the government is. 
  5. I am not surprised that Federalist #10 is not in favor of democracy, and supports a Republican government. The author dislike a (pure) democratic form of government because he, himself is from a wealthy elite class. He is protecting his wealth by using proxy words.
