The scheme of representation takes place, opens a different prospect [from the evils of faction], and promises the cure for whic

h we are seeking. Let us examine the points in which it varies from pure democracy, and we shall comprehend both the nature of the cure and the efficacy which it must derive from the Union.
2 The two great points of difference between a democracy and a republic are: first, the delegation of the government, in the latter, to a small number of citizens elected by the rest; secondly, the greater number of citizens, and greater sphere of the country, over which the latter may be extended.

3 The effect of the first difference is, on the one hand, to refine and enlarge the public views, by passing them through the medium of a chosen body of citizens, whose wisdom may best discern the true interest of their country, and whose patriotism and love of justice will be least likely to sacrifice it to temporary or partial considerations. Under such a regulation, it may well happen that the public voice, pronounced by the representatives of the people, will be more consonant to the public good than if pronounced by the people themselves, convened for the purpose. On the other hand, the effect may be inverted. Men of factious tempers, of local prejudices, or of sinister designs, may, by intrigue, by corruption, or by other means, first obtain the suffrages, and then betray the interests, of the people. The question resulting is, whether small or extensive republics are more favorable to the election of proper guardians of the public weal; and it is clearly decided in favor of the latter by two obvious considerations:

4 In the first place, it is to be remarked that, however large it may be, they must be limited to a certain number, in order to guard against the confusion of a multitude. Hence, the number of representatives in the two cases not being in proportion to that of the two constituents and being proportionally greater in the small republic, it follows that, if the proportion of fit characters be not less in the large than in the small republic, the former will present a greater option, and consequently a greater probability of a fit choice.

5 In the next place, as each representative will be chosen by a greater number of citizens in the large than in the small republic, it will be more difficult for unworthy candidates to practice with success the vicious arts by which elections are too often carried; and the suffrages of the people being more free, will be more likely to center in men who possess the most attractive merit and the most diffusive and established characters.

6 It must be confessed that in this, as in most other cases, there is a mean, on both sides of which inconveniences will be found to lie. By enlarging too much the number of electors, you render the representative too little acquainted with all their local circumstances and lesser interests; as by reducing it too much, you render him unduly attached to these and too little fit to comprehend and pursue great national objects. The federal Constitution forms a happy combination in this respect; the great and aggregate interests being referred to the national, the local and particular to the State legislatures.
Paragraphs 4 and 5 are two separate explanations of what stated main idea from the previous paragraph (paragraph 3)?

A) whether small or large republics are better
B) the reasons to prefer a republic to a monarchy
C) whether it is better to have a republic or democracy
D) the similarities between citizens and representatives

In the opening line, the speaker states, "Let us go then, you and I." Who is the you here? (Several possibilities here).
GaryK [48]

Answer:

Love Song by T. S. Eliot

In the opening line, the speaker states, "Let us go then, you and I."

The "you" here refers to the woman that J. Alfred Prufrock desired to have a sexual encounter with.  As the narrator, Prufrock was soliciting and trying to convince his lover to go along with him to the red-light district, where they could pin themselves together like butterflies in sexual euphoria.  Just like all adolescents, many people are unaware of the proper place of sex in marriage.  As a result, many are usually drawn to experience sex in fantasy.  It has been proven psychologically and medically that sex is very good and healthy, but only in marriage.

Explanation:

The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock is a modernist poem written by T.S. Eliot in 1917.  In it, Eliot fully explored and indicated the youthful exuberance felt by adolescents and their moral ambivalence, especially with regard to sex vis.-a-vis their Christian upbringing.
