A Warning to be Heeded from 1787 Madison Doctrine
James Madison warned that wealth and luxury distance the rich from laboring people who build the state. He warned Congress members bias toward banks and capitalists drain earnings from workers, and warned of impending oligarchy and servitude if the poor submit to theft and pillage by the moneyed class. The piece contrasts urban luxury with the toil of laborers and farmers across the West. The piece closes noting historical warnings and the question of whether statesmen will safeguard freemen's rights.
