For this assignment, then, I would like for you to reflect on how Madison’s idea of government — its role in protecting the individual’s self-interest and its pursuit of property — differs from Winthrop’s puritan vision of politics. How is Madison’s understanding of government a product of the enlightenment period? Why is Madison more interested in regulating or limiting social faction rather than overcoming it, like Winthrop? Does Madison have a different conception of human nature or morality, different from Winthrop?
Also, why does Madison think that the first object of government is to ensure the protection of self-interest and not “the care of the public,” like Winthrop? Choose two or three examples from the Federalist Papers or Winthrop’s sermon to support your answer.
Use correct APA format
Your paper should include an introduction, a body, and a conclusion. Also, support your answers with the course’s readings and at least two scholarly journal articles. The article’s purpose is to support your positions, claims, and observations, in addition to your textbook.
Sources
ProQuest and EBSCOhost are great sites to find resources. Also, write in a concise and logical, using excellent grammar and style techniques. Additionally, the quality of your writing dictates grading criteria. On the other hand, if you use direct quotes from books or articles, place the words you copied (use parenthesis) and cite them in-line.
Additional Guidelines
The quotes should be complete sentences (no more, less) and should be incorporated in your essay to illustrate your ideas. Please, cite your sources in a clickable reference list at the end. Also, do not copy without providing proper attribution (quotation marks and in-line citations). Also, write an essay format, not in bullet form, numbering, or another list format. It would be best if you use your own words. Lastly, proofread your work and run it through Grammarly for thorough confirmation.
