In chapter 1 of these articles, we will answer the question; “How does one person’s passions infringe upon another person’s Freedoms?” Our answer will recognize the truth that man is created equal but does not have the right to equal access to the natural productive nature of a human being. We will find that we can all agree that the general concept that all men should work together to benefit each other equally, is a Utopian ideal which is good. And this ideal should be the desired outcome of any culture and organized government. We will discover that this “IS” the American dream, where one can achieve the Utopian ideal and goal through an open capitalist system where the invisible hand of economic markets can increase prosperity to benefit all. We will find that the concept of “wealth redistribution” will actually drive society away from this utopian goal due to the fact that the act of redistribution requires putting an individual in control of the redistribution mechanisms whom inevitably will have inconsistent passions and personal struggles in their lifetime that will drive them to make inequitable choices which will result in the suffering of some individuals.
Within this pessimistic and realistic view of the natural tendencies of mankind, the passions and struggles of mankind will always drive groups of men and women to intentionally or unintentionally impose their will on other groups or individuals. This concept, specifically, is why the Federalist was born and why the United States of America was eventually crafted into its current form. The formation of the United States constitution was to limit and prevent this unreasoned and un-virtuous natural tendency of mankind so that there would be mechanisms to limit the powers of the associated governments put into mankind’s hands to prevent the miss-use of power and the natural tendency to try to grow control over other men and women. From the original Federalist papers these differences and desires we have called “factions” and resulting actions “insurrections” that inevitably result in the natural suffering of one group to support the desires of another group. Thus, the original intent of the United States of America was not to institute policies of governmental controls to save the likes of mankind, but to prevent and protect the individuals from groups and government entities that seek to invade on an individual’s privacy and their God given freedoms while they are alive on this planet pursuing their own form of “happiness”.
