Federalist Papers: No. 1
General Introduction
For the Independent Journal
Author: Alexander Hamilton
So numerous indeed and so powerful are the causes which serve to give a false bias to the judgment, that we, upon many occasions, see wise and good men on the wrong as well as on the right side of questions of the first magnitude to society. This circumstance, if duly attended to, would furnish a lesson of moderation to those who are ever so much persuaded of their being in the right in any controversy. And a further reason for caution, in this respect, might be drawn from the reflection that we are not always sure that those who advocate the truth are influenced by purer principles than their antagonists. Ambition, avarice, personal animosity, party opposition, and many other motives not more laudable than these, are apt to operate as well upon those who support as those who oppose the right side of a question. Were there not even these inducements to moderation, nothing could be more ill-judged than that intolerant spirit which has, at all times, characterized political parties.
What can we learn from this paragraph about Hamilton's observations about people?
People are rarely honest about their true feelings when they speak.
People cannot be swayed by outside influences to vote on an issue.
People generally support all causes for the exact same reasons.
People have had many different reasons for the causes they support.
