In the early days of the American republic, human nature and faction were of some serious concern. I doubt that the Founding Fathers ever truly envisioned how egregious faction would grow in our society to the point where we can’t even face a crisis beyond our control without playing sick partisan games.
Human Nature and Faction by Michael Doyle Facing then as we did in our sobriety The fulfillment of the rights of dignity The 1780s brought an accounting of good Along with the bad that is to be understood George Washington wrote to John Jay Of all the problems of their good day There were errors to correct in our nation A need for reassessment of our Confederation Human nature is a mix of passion and reason Each of these right within their season Goodly had is government by consent But limits are needed even in this assent Structure is needed in our blessed union Checks and balances given in communion There must also be a separation of powers As well as unity in every nation's hours Our first Confederation was more an alliance One of which proved of very little reliance Like the United Nations in contribution It was up to each state to uphold each resolution Diplomatic in the sense of its arrangement But unable to enforce decisions of government In this way the government was deficient And desperately in need of becoming sufficient A government must ably provide protection For the entirety of the whole of the nation However, this wasn't a given in the Confederation As such, it was deficient for our fledgling nation A government must secure what is necessary For its people to find their true prosperity Protection of property and its acquisition Was needed by our federated institutions A government must protect from faction Making the government unable to take action Whether it be by disobedience or insurrection Each state in the nation must forswear dedication These properties cannot be found loosely This has been a prime lesson of all history Publius set this out in the Federalist essay Number 6 ruling out the utopian play Mankind is nothing caught in its ambition The experience of the ages reveal this situation Utopia is nothing but a thing of the visionary Completely disregarding the lessons of history Human nature is what it is and is constant Not something that progresses regardless of intent Mankind lives for the accumulation of power This does not vary with place or in mankind's hours Government is nothing but our sheerest reflection Despite the best of intentions and their inflections Or how we speak our truth of and on history Humanity requires structure even in its greatest mystery (c) April 30, 2020 Michael Doyle All Rights Reserved
