Quotes From the Federalist # 10

"And the suffrages of the people being more free, will be more likely to centre in men who possess the most attractive merit and the most diffusive and established characters." I selected this quote because it raises the question why would Madison be against other people then men voting  in elections. 

"The instability, injustice, and confusion introduced into the public councils, have, in truth, been the mortal diseases under which popular governments have everywhere perished" I chose this quote because it reminds of the corruption, bribes, and self innitiative we have in our government today.

"The second expedient is as impracticable as the first would be unwise." Madison writes many things in the Federalist #10 that he goes on later to contradict; Why add them in if they will be self contradicted later?

"The public good is disregarded in the conflicts of rival parties". It seems as though the publics good is never considered when political parties are involved.

"As long as the reason of man continues fallible, and he is at liberty to exercise it, different oppinions will be formed." I chose this quote because I think it is the most representitive quote of America. The freedom to have different oppinions.
