Laurie Johnson just completed a four-part series on The Maurin Academy’s Political Philosophy YouTube channel on American Founder James Madison’s Federalist 10, which argues that the great extent of the American territory, and the Federal system, will work to protect the United States from the emergence of a faction of the majority and demagogues that could work against the common good.
