Upon the principles of a free government, inconveniences from the source just mentioned must necessarily be submitted to in the formation of the legislature; but it is unnecessary, and therefore
unwise, to introduce them into the constitution of the Executive. It is here too that they may be most
pernicious. In the legislature, promptitude of decision is oftener an evil than a benefit. The differences of
opinion, and the jarrings of parties in that department of the government, though they may sometimes
obstruct salutary plans, yet often promote deliberation and circumspection, and serve to check excesses
in the majority. When a resolution too is once taken, the opposition must be at an end. That resolution is
a law, and resistance to it punishable. But no favorable circumstances palliate or atone for the
disadvantages of dissension in the executive department. Here, they are pure and unmixed. There is no
point at which they cease to operate. They serve to embarrass and weaken the execution of the plan or
measure to which they relate, from the first step to the final conclusion of it. They constantly counteract
those qualities in the Executive which are the most necessary ingredients in its composition, vigor and
expedition, and this without any counter balancing good. In the conduct of war, in which the energy of
the Executive is the bulwark of the national security, everything would be to be apprehended from its
plurality.
While Hamilton opposes a “plural" executive, why is a "numerous” legislature (one made up of
many rather than one individuals) beneficial and preferable?

Read the following passage from muir's "calypso borealis" and respond to the prompt. [2] the rarest and most beautiful of the flowering plants i discovered on this first grand excursion was calypso borealis (the hider of the north). i had been fording streams more and more difficult to cross and wading bogs and swamps that seemed more and more extensive and more difficult to force one's way through. entering one of these great tamarac and arbor-vitae swamps one morning, holding a general though very crooked course by compass, struggling through tangled drooping branches and over and under broad heaps of fallen trees, i began to fear that i would not be able to reach dry ground before dark, and therefore would have to pass the night in the swamp and began, faint and hungry, to plan a nest of branches on one of the largest trees or windfalls like a monkey's nest, or eagle's, or indian's in the flooded forests of the orinoco described by humboldt. [3] but when the sun was getting low and everything seemed most bewildering and discouraging, i found beautiful calypso on the mossy bank of a stream, growing not in the ground but on a bed of yellow mosses in which its small white bulb had found a soft nest and from which its one leaf and one flower sprung. the flower was white and made the impression of the utmost simple purity like a snowflower. no other bloom was near it, for the bog a short distance below the surface was still frozen, and the water was ice cold. it seemed the most spiritual of all the flower people i had ever met. i sat down beside it and fairly cried for joy. how do authors communicate their tone in a piece of writing? identify the tone (or tones) of this passage. explain how the tone(s) is created, providing at least two examples from the passage and explaining how each contributes specifically to the tone(s) you identified. your response should be a paragraph of 5–7 sentences.
