Federalist #10
- written by Madison
- factions + how a strong national gov can control them
Why does Madison say factions can be dangerous to a government and a society?
Factions can be dangerous to a government and society because rules and decisions may be made by the majority.
factions
group of people that have formed an interest group and can act politically together- voting alike, advertising and raising awareness of issues important to them, lobbying politicians to make laws that are important to that faction.
What are the causes of faction, according to Madison?
Factions are created when a group of people are united by some common passion or interest (religion, government, property, etc). The most common source of factions is the unequal distribution of property.
Why does Madison argue it would be unwise to totally eliminate factions or the cause of factions?
Madison argues that it is unwise to totally eliminate factions because it entails the abolition of liberty
Why does Madison say "pure" democracies (or participatory democracies) are not good at controlling factions?
"Pure democracies" are not good at controlling factions because they allow for the existence of the same passion or interest in a majority and it leaves that said majority unrendered in its number.
What arguments does Madison make to say Republics (or an elite democracy) are better than a pure democracy?
Republics are better than a pure democracy because it works to prevent a majority, and it limits the number and power of any majority that may form
What arguments does Madison make to say a larger republic is better than a smaller republic?
A larger republic is better because it provides a greater probability of a fit choice of representatives and it would be more difficult for unworthy candidates to rig the elections and become elected.
What does Madison say about how a larger republic can do a better job on controlling the dangers of factions than a smaller democracy?
A larger republic can do a better job on controlling the dangers of factions because it will lead to the most fit representatives in office by making it more difficult for unworthy candidates to become elected and by controlling the desires of any possible majority so that they cannot act in ways that are not beneficial to America.
Federalist #51
- written by Madison
- separation of powers in branches
What does Madison say will help separate the power between the three branches assured?
Each department should have a will of its own (independent of others) and should not be involved in the appointment of the members of the others. All appointments should be by the people.
Which branch of government did Madison think should not have elected members? What are his reasons for that?
Madison thought that the judiciary branch should not have elected members because the members need to have specific qualifications and the terms are permanent
Which branch of government did Madison think would be the most powerful?
legislative branch
What does he say the framers did to check the power of that strongest branch?
He said the framers divided the legislative authority into different branches and limited their connection by different modes of election and different principles of action.
What are two great advantages of federalism, according to Madison?
The two great advantages of federalism are that a strong federal government gives smaller states protection against bigger states, and one part of society is guarded against the injustice of another.
What is the "end" or supreme goal of government, according to Madison?
The "end" goals of government are to protect the people, prevent anarchy, and justice.
