In federalist no. 10, Madison describes "moneyed interests" as factions that are likely to sacrifice the common good to their ow

n self-interest. In at least 100 words, express your thoughts about how Madison might react to the current situation in which "corporations are people" that can exert power limited only by the amount of money they have. Do you think Madison would define a corporation as a faction? Why or why not?
(I'm not asking for you to actually write me a 100 word essay but at least help me get a start and more of an understanding. Thanks.)

<span>I think that Madison would define a corporation as a "moneyed interest". I think its clear to any thinker that corporations of today are extremely likely, and almost always, sacrifice the common good to their own self interests, which is revenue. I think that money and profits far outweigh any moral standards that represent the common good.</span>

Yes, James Madison would define modern corporations as "factions."  He saw factions as groups of people with shared interests (especially financial ones) that group together to gain advantage for themselves over others in society.

Madison's apprehensions about factions focused especially on the role of money and property in creating competing groups in society based on their wealth or property holdings.  Landholders could be such a faction.  Banking and moneylending agencies could be such a faction.  We could add that large modern corporations are factions in the same sense.  They might work their will against the majority of the people.  

Madison argued that factions of any kind war against the unity of the republic.  Factions consider only their own position, rather than the rights and well-being of the whole community or nation.

Northfield is a model city in Westport County. Crime rates have dropped 28% in the last five years, and new business development
Over [174]
<span>The correct answer would be D. Answer C neglects any opposing viewpoints, and is more of a closing sentence for the opposing argument generated in Answer D. Although the answers A and B throw Proposition S into a negative light, they do not themselves generate an opposing argument. Rather, they are just quick statements supporting the argument presented in answer D. D most sufficiently represents an opposing viewpoint as it acknowledges the other side of the argument, presents a statement that opposes this acknowledged argument, and follows with multiple supporting statements to strengthen the reasoning for opposing Proposition S. The passage continues to support this statement with: These city governments would be required to pay for public services in areas where local politicians have failed to find a way to fund their own projects. Approximately $12.3 million dollars of tax revenue would be redirected toward county projects. Many programs at our new community center will have to be cut. (Answer A) *This would affect more than 40,000 citizens of Northfield. The construction of Northfield Park would probably have to be put on hold. (Answer B) The passage closes with. What is good for Northfield is good for all of Westport County. (Answer C) As these are just supporting statements for the argument presented in Answer D, or closing the letter, they cannot be the main opposing viewpoint being addressed. Therefore, they would be incorrect.</span>

lord [1]

Answer:

The infinitives are beside each other, but one does not contain the other.

Explanation:

<em>Infinitives are the basic form of the verb without any articulation links it to the subject. The sentence provided here employs two infinitives "to try" and "to write" back to back and beside each other. The sentence is correct as the usage of two base forms of the verbs has often been witnessed. However, the infinitives are beside each other yet they do not contain each other as each is displaying its meaning clearly and effectively. Thus, the last option is correct.</em>

In about two hundred words, show what you understand about the literary devices used in the plot development of Things Fall Apar
Alexandra [31]

There are many literary devices used in the plot development of <em>Things Fall Apart</em>; let's remember that we call a <em>literary device</em> all those tools an author use to convey his/her ideas and points in a story.

One of the tools used by Achebe in this text is irony. One example of this is Okonkwo's suicide at the end. After saying he could survive everything, you don't expect him to do it.

Another literary device the author uses is foreshadowing. This happens when an event or action hits at a future event or action. This is used, for example, when Okonkwo falls into depression after being exiled to his motherland for killing a clansman and, at the end he commites suicide. This depression meant more for him that any other event and changed his destiny.

Symbolism is other used tool in this story when referred to a man's ability to grow yams. It is directly tied to his manhood and how others see him as a man. In this particular case, the yam is the major symbol of masculinity.
