1. CHAPTER 7 The Federalist Republic, 1789 – 1799 “Men, by their constitutions, are naturally divided into two parties: (1) Those who fear and distrust the people, and wish to draw all powers from them into the hands of the higher classes; (2) Those who identify themselves with the people, have confidence in them, cherish and consider them as the most honest and safe, although not the most wise, depository of the public interests.... The appellation of Aristocrats and Democrats is the true one, expressing the essence of all.” Thomas Jefferson

2. “As the cities grew, new values took hold.” In the older, medieval, ‘corporate’ view of society, economic life ideally operated according to what was equitable, not what was profitable.

Such regulation seemed natural because a community was defined not as a collection of individuals, each entitled to pursue separate interests, but as a single body of interrelated parts where individual rights and responsibilities formed a seamless web.” “According to the new view, if people were allowed to pursue their own material desires competitively, they would collectively form a natural, impersonal market of producers and consumers that would operate to everyone’s advantage.” Historian Gary Nash
