¨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 country, over which the latter may be extended.¨

¨In the first place, it is to be remarked that, however small the republic may be, the representatives must be raised to a certain number, in order to guard against the cabals of a few; and 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.¨

 

In this paper, Madison Identifies that the country should run by individuals that are selected by the people. This means that the power will be given by the people not to them. Leading to the way that the country could grow but still using the same for of power distribution for the people.For example Madison states that the country thought of its republic, it should not be taken lightly as it can have high power by the number of representatives it may have.
