He explains two great products for “Tax-Free Retirement”: Roth IRA and Universal Life Insurance.

Webster’s dictionary has several definitions for the meaning of gang. The definition that best fits for juveniles is a group of young people who do illegal things together and who often fight against other gangs, or a group of people who are friends and who do things together. (Webster’s) One of the problems met by law enforcement and other professionals is the lack of a consistent definition of a gang. Generally a ga...
Given the nature of man, factions are inevitable. As long as men hold different opinions, have different amounts of wealth, and own different amount of property, they will continue to fraternize with people who are most similar to them. Both serious and trivial reasons account for the formation of factions but the most important source of faction is the unequal distribution of property. Men of greater ability and talent tend to possess more property than those of lesser ability, and since the first object of government is to protect and encourage ability, it follows that the rights of property owners must be protected. Property is divided unequally, and, in addition, there are many different kinds of property; men have different interests depending upon the kind of property they own. For example, the interests of landowners differ from those who own businesses. Government must not only protect the conflicting interests of property owners, it must, at the same time, successfully regulate the conflicts that result from those who own, and those who do not own, property.
The Federalist Paper number ten was an essay written by James Madison to support the ratification of the U.S Constitution. Its content deals with factions and how the effects of factions can be minimized. There were two options given; to do away with liberty, or create a society with the same opinion. To eliminate liberty was out of the question. That left the second option, giving every individual the same opinion, which is unrealistic. The main obstacle is that as long as people have free will and are able to think freely they will form different opinions. The difference in opinions that occurs leads to factions. People no matter how just will always look out for their own interest. The example given
Federalist No. 10 discusses faction, liberty and the process of government to keep the surplus of faction low. James Madison describes a faction as “a number of citizens, whether amounting to a majority or a minority of the whole, who are united and actuated by some common impulse of passion, or of interest, adversed to the rights of other citizens, or to the permanent and aggregate interests of the community” (Federalist No. 10). Madison takes the argument in Federalist No. 10 that faction and liberty are inseparable. This is logic in our government; instead of trying to eliminate the cause of factions; the government can control the effects of faction (Federalist No. 10). Madison states two solutions to eliminating the cause of faction; “the one, by destroying the liberty which is essential to its existence; the other, by giving to every citizen the same opinions, the same passions, and the same interest” (Federalis...
In order to free society of forming factions elites Madison provides two methods of eliminating them. First, Madison states, by eliminating liberty which is the main component of factions. And second by providing citizens with similar opinions, passions, and interests (Federalist No. 10, Madison). The author promotes elite democracy in that his two methods of curing factions is by promoting elite opinion, passions, and interest should be the favorable lifestyle of society. He states, “two methods of removing the causes of faction: the one, by
The term caucus means a meeting of a specific partys leaders or supporters to select their candidates for certain movements. A specific group in congress would be the right wing group consisting of approximately 36 members that calls themselves "House Freedom Caucus". This groups goal is to move power away from leadership and make it easier for bills to be passed. The party conference is an annual conference that holds the highest decision making power. At each of these conferences they would elect or nominate the party's leaders and bodys of leadership, decide their party's policys, and set the platform agendas.
10 Madison sees faction as bad for government. This new constitution would establish a government that could control violence. He sees this violence as a result of factions. The cause of differences in people in society is different; people have different opinions, experiences and environments. Madison explains that factions are inevitable; people will always group together with people who are similar to them. A big contributor to factions is the possession of property. Madison realizes that you cannot control the causes of faction but, you have to figure out how to control the effect of such factions. There is no way to give everybody the same opinions so factions are
Everyone in the factions has a place, everyone has one genetic trait, all except the divergent. In the book Divergent there are five factions, each faction was made up by one personality trait. The traits were Abnegation (selfless), Amity (peace), Candor (honesty), Dauntless (brave), and Erudite (intelligent). After taking a serum that stimulates the brain to produce simulations in which the different simulation eliminated one faction. The main character Tris ( originally named Beatrice Prior) did not eliminate four factions but had an inconclusive result, as she only eliminated two factions out of the five possible factions. It is later revealed that the factions were created within a fenced city to protect it from the outside. The outside is full of constant violent war; this is caused by damaged genetics that causes th...
Political parties are linkage institutions between the government and the public. They hold the government responsible for its actions. Minor parties develop ideas that the major parties adopt. In the United States, state governments largely control legal definitions of parties. Parties are organizations that sponsor candidates for political office under the party’s name in an effort to control and shape the outcome of government. Political parties focus on a platform and are accountable to the public and to the laws. They were not addressed in the Constitution but emerges as one way for citizens to mobilize for political action.
In the United States political scientist and other scholars have placed third parties into four specific categories with various political functions. First, third parties are sometimes created to address sectional issues. Meaning a geographical area has a political or social issue or issues that are not being satisfied by the two major parties. Sectional Parties are often created and used to express the rights of particular states in America. One of the best examples of a sectional party was the Dixiecrat party of the south. The party was formed in southern states over the issue of Civil Rights and integration in the Unites States. Secondly, historically third parties have been formed to address single issues. In the United States these issues have included things such as slavery, prohibition, agricultural concerns, and other social issues. The Republican Party was originally a single issue third party. The issue the Republican Party was formed around was the expansion of slavery into newly created states and territories. The Free Soil Party is a strong example of a single-issue party formed with the goal of abolishing slavery in the United States. Thirdly, factions sometimes occur within the main parties themselves. These factions are often called party ...
In Federalist Paper No. 10, Madison writes that “a well-constructed Union” has one especially important task to accomplish. This task is the ability to “break and control the violence of faction.” Through use of the word faction, Madison means, “a number of citizens, whether amounting to a majority or minority of the whole, who are united and actuated by some common impulse of passion, or of interest, adverse to the rights of other citizens, or to the permanent and aggregate interests of the community” (Madison p. 1). I fully agree with Madison’s assessment on factions. If a faction grows to acquire the power of majority, then it will have the ability to oppress the majority factions. In cases like these, the wishes and beliefs of everybody
If you want to join a different faction you have to work for it. They won’t just give you their title. You have to train and go through an extremely tough competition to get into the faction. “I stare at my name on the board. My cheeks feel hot. Al and Christin...

The concept of cleavage plays an important role in the literature on party system formation and contemporary voting behavior studies, as Martin S. Lipset and Stein Rokkan have stated in their "cleavage theory". The definition of divide is divided by a sort of existence of demographics and stable or aligned attitudes and conflicts within the structure of society.
