reporting this becuase i posted to a different [wrong]member before.
really?....OK i will post them from Madison himself, since you will listen to left leaning professors, and not read Madison on words and deeds.
federalist 10--The other point of difference is, the greater number of citizens and extent of territory which may be brought within the compass of republican than of democratic government; and it is this circumstance principally which renders factious combinations less to be dreaded in the former than in the latter.
Madison states here that democratic government is very ( factious, or full of special interest) to limit that faction ,that special interest the founders choose republican government.
the u.s. Constitution article 4 section 4-- The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened), against domestic Violence.
what is republican government, it is a mixed constitution, as stated by Madison.
The Federalist No. 40
On the Powers of the Convention to Form a Mixed Government Examined and Sustained
New York Packet
Friday, January 18, 1788
[James Madison]
To the People of the State of New York:
THE second point to be examined is, whether the [constitutional] convention were authorized to frame and propose this mixed Constitution.
what is mixed government or mixed constitution?
Mixed government, also known as a mixed constitution, is a form of government that integrates elements of democracy, aristocracy, and monarchy. In a mixed government, some issues (often defined in a constitution) are decided by the majority of the people, some other issues by few, and some other issues by a single person (also often defined in a constitution). The idea is commonly treated as an antecedent of separation of powers.
separations of powers?
the house is of (all) the people it is a democracy , the senate is of the (few) states it is an aristocracy.
that aristocracy of the senate is there to stop the collectivist mentality of the people, by being a bulwark against any collectivist ideas..........as Madison states in federalist 63--The true distinction between these and the American governments, lies in the total exclusion of the people, in their collective capacity, from any share in the latter, and not in the total exclusion of the representatives of the people from the administration of the former.
madison states the people can vote collectively for there congressman, however they cannot vote collectively, on whims and desires the people may have to embellish themselves with things, at the expense of the minority.
becuase the senate is the first bulwark against that kind of collectivist activity, and the court being the second..........the senate because its interest are not the same as the house's interest, keep faction, /special interest limited.
