Alex Banks April 3, 2014Fahrenheit 451 Federalist 10 is an article by James Madison and is by far one of the most famous. In the article Madison points out that the strongest factor of the Constitution is that it establishes a government capable of controlling the violence and damage caused by factions. Factions are a group of individuals who come together in a union or political party and are opposed to government control. They are sometimes groups called “sub-factions” and were technically a party within the party. Factions desperately try to advance their own agenda, particular economic interests and political opinions. Factions work against the public interest and violate the rights of others. Ending factions is inevitable. Madison summed it up best by saying that as long as men have different opinions, have different amounts of wealth, and have different amounts of property, they will continue to associate with similar people. In other words, those who had large amounts of money and owned land/property were the typical individuals who would be in factions. Madison believed that ways to eliminate factions removed its causes and controlled the effects. Although factions cannot simply be eliminated, Madison believed that the destruction of liberty meant that every individual would have the same opinion. Direct democracy is not strong enough to protect its personnel and property rights and has been characterized by conflict. It is surprising, but Madison recommended a strong and great Republic. He believed there would be more factions, but much weaker ones than in small direct democracies where it would be easier to consolidate stronger factions. Madison concluded his argument by saying: “according to the degree of ple... half of the card... the suit of happiness” distinguishes the value of property. He believed that having one's own property was essential for supporting oneself, developing talents, controlling labor, establishing values, trading, and earning a living. He focuses on having an abundant amount of possessions and never depriving one of his own. In Fahrenheit 451, the residents were not happy in the society they were confined to. The local government made them believe that they were happy because they had no sense of feelings and if they did they would be killed, sent to the psychiatrist who would then prescribe pills for them, and simply considered a threat. The word "intellectual" was seen as a dirty word, so from this you can understand what kind of society people lived in. In general, the inhabitants of Fahrenheit 451 were not happy at all and were victims of the media and entertainment..
