ANYWAYS, let& #39;s get started
In this paper, Madison calls out the power of factions (Madison basically defined them as birds of a feather always stick together) and the idea of going with the simple majority.
Now here& #39;s where Madison goes OFF, this man does not hold back let me tell u. so buckle up here we go
Madison start with literally calling simple majority a DISEASE. No joke, he for real writes "The instability, injustice, and confusion introduced into the public councils, have, in truth, been the mortal diseases under which popular governments have everywhere perished" LOL BYE
Madison technically states that he is fears the largest faction, so fear the masses. He claims the the number one cause for factions is the division of property. So the largest faction is gonna be the poor.
Like we saw with Shay& #39;s rebellion, it is in the poor& #39;s best interest to "EAT THE RICH" (but let& #39;s not get into classism here)
Madison then goes on to say that the only way to fix this problem is to either control the source or effects of factions,,,, how u gon stop the source of smth tho when that source is liberty
Madison then claims So to prevent to the tyranny of the greatest faction is to establish a Republic. Yes he went there, I was just as thrown off as y& #39;all are. But then I came around
Because our population is so vast, having a Republic is actually beneficial for our society. With so many different opinions that arise from diverse backgrounds and cultures, factions are bound to occur just as discussed earlier.
These factions will no doubt cause imbalance, disdain, and chaos. But the Republic established by our Constitution is a sizable one on account of the US population. This lowers the chances of corruption within the government.
The amount for a Government Official to appease the masses is so great, again to our sizable population, there is little room for them to do something for their own benefit. 0% for a charlatan to waltz in ON GOD
I mean, how you gonna continue your job and keep up your reputation, when you got thousands of eyes watching your every move. You do one thing to displease the masses or your faction, there& #39;s no coming back.
Madison writes this, "As each representative will be chosen by a greater number of citizens in the large than in the small republic, it will be more difficult for unworthy candidates to practice with success the vicious arts by which elections are too often carried"
Madison does not discuss public opinion directly, but he does mention the frequent elections that the Constitution has in order. This implies that Politicians must appease the people to continue to stay in office NO. ROOM. FOR. FUNNY. BUSINESS.
By having this Republic, we as a nation are able to enhance individual liberty. It blunts the force of the undeniable large faction to be by chopping up its representation in government.
The fear of government corruption that we saw when the United States of America was called "The Colonies https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤢" title="Angewidertes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Angewidertes Gesicht">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤢" title="Angewidertes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Angewidertes Gesicht">" is almost erased as a possibility, allowing our nation to lie in the best interest of the people.
Once again, James Madison made points
The ratification of the Constitution is important and, as you can see from today& #39;s discussion, WE NEED IT !!
Yes you may have the lingering fear of "what if it won& #39;t work and we fail". Madison wrote "a society consisting of a small number of citizens, who assemble and administer the government in person, can admit of no cure for the mischiefs of faction."
We are no small group of people, we are a large nation filled with potential for a greatness the world has never seen. When we face obstacles of factions, we have a cure with our new sizable republic. And if worst comes to worse, we have amendments.
Fear of what is to be will be our down fall
So let& #39;s take a chance and get this Constitution RATIFIED LETS GOOOO https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤪" title="Zany face" aria-label="Emoji: Zany face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤪" title="Zany face" aria-label="Emoji: Zany face">
