What does this paragraph from federalist no 51 mean? “Justice is the purpose of government and civil society. If the government
allows or encourages strong groups to combine together against the weak, Liberty will be lost in anarchy will result. And the condition of anarchy temps even strong individuals and groups to submit to any form of government, no matter how bad, which they hope will protect them as well as the weak.”
When they say "strong groups" they mean factions. These are interest groups basically. The framers of the constitution recognize that factions are inevitable but by creating a stronger central government, we can balance these factions and form a better government.
Remember, the federalists used these papers to support the new constitution. So this instilled some fear about the out comes of a weak central government that the Articles of confederation had.
