Observation: It is being stated that wealthy people look down on the poor and feel so entitled that it's insulting to come in contact with them. The rich believe that the laws put in place calling us equals should be overturned.

Interpretation- This text shows the imbalance between classes and how big of a deal social hierarchy actually was at the time. From this perspective the wealthy feel superior and do not believe that higher class and lower classes should have the same access or rights.

Connection- This connects to the 19th century working class movements where workers fought against the social inequality.

This connects to my learning because it gives a different insight on what the fight for social/economic equality looked like and how the movement itself got more attention.

Contingency- If a change did not occur and the wealthy won the fight with social and economic inequality to power balance even to this day would look very different.

Observation: Madison believes that the government affects people directly like a national government yet when you change perspectives you'll see that it acts as a federal government due to limitations. Interpretation: To me Madison is saying that the government will look different depending on how you look at it but all in all it will be a mix of both national and federal. Connection: This quote entails that the Constitution was created to balance power between the national government and the states. He is trying to get at the point that there will be characteristics from the Federal and Anti- Federal side; a stronger government would be created but their power would not be limitless- there would still be rules and regulations. Complexity: As we know things are always easier said than done. In his writing Madison explains it to be a perfect balance, yet in real life there could be times where the national government can become stronger at one point, causing the states to push back or vice versa.
