Answer 1

Both try to define what a republic is. The second tells us: if we vote,as individuals we will have no rights. The second warns away from the voting method.......since the voting method may end up with one religion or country, having more individuals who vote, giving them total rule over the 'not so plentiful countries, religions'. (1) warns us that we must use the popular vote, making sure that a small group of citizens has a voice proportionate to the number of citizens it represents. (first)speaks of popular vote brought into the question,saying the proportionate amount of people be in the voting, that they represent in total.

Answer 2

Factions form among humanity due to our individual experiences and ascensions above the basal rhythms of Nature. The foundation of human civilization is the human compendium, the OBJECTIVE human compendium, not the dogmas and ruined temples of our subjective machinations. The subjective human compendium builds upon it self as we explore the world and learn better and better ways to not suffer. As we once poured human excrement into our village wells, fell ill and then subjectively blamed evil spirits and those who happened to have parted their hair on the opposite side of the head as did the currently wealthiest man in the village, we went on, eventually, eternally eventually, to learn to see bacteria through microscope lenses, and we ascended in quality of life for ALL with that objective comprehension of the world around us, that nugget added to our ever increasing human compendium. We factionate based on our grasp of the world or reality around us. Nature, and the natural lucidity of our comprehension of its "eternally" good and sensible truth, is the only true common ground that we have. As elites know all too well, as long as people remain ignorant of the basic human compendium of what we know so far about natural law, we will remain vulnerable to factioning. The goal certainly is not to be of one mind. But, as an analogy, we cannot discover the symphonic composition unless we each know how to play the instuments. The human experience hasn't even begun. So far, the course of mankind has been ALL about the struggles to rise above savage ignorance. It's as though we've been all running around like baboons screaming and shaking assorted musical instruments in the air, as though THAT nonsense is the true purpose of our existence. It is not. That's the monkey in us. As for the intent of republican forms of government, that is all related to oppression and a paradigm of more savage stage of development in which "might is right" and "a sucka's born every minute". "God would not have made them sheep if he did not want them sheared." Our more feeble-minded, subjectively based factional concepts and groupings are fanned through fascist manipulations of and by those who conspire against freedom for all. Divide and conquer. Human oppression and the use of fascist "Calico Cat and Gingham Dog" inner-bickerings have been part for ten thousand years of an "animal husbandry" that controls humanity. Always, throughout history, when such power corrupts beyond the health of a civilization, the "rabble" rises and there's an "adjustment". Just prior to that, though, especially in institutions such as Yale, there is an arrogant sniff and a gasp from the elite who rightfully fear for the confiscation of their ill-gotten gained property. I've been noticing a lot of that whimpering lately. Surely you have read Darrow. But, consider how this address compliments your two selections, they, having hailed from Yale and good old Heil Prime Mover Ayn Rand, and notice how Darrow adds that missing touch of "true" class. : )
