"The appointment of taxes on the various descriptions prperty is an act which seems to require the most exact impartiality; yet there is, perhaps, no legislative act in which greater opportunity and temptation are given to a predominant party to trample on the rules of justice. Every shilling with which they overburden the inferior number, is a shilling saved to their own pocket (p. 93)."  

I chose to write about is passage from Madison because I can relate this to the current events of today. Just like back in the times of Madison, today taxes are use to the oppurtunity for the rich to save money in their wallet. The issue of taxes is a hot topic of today. Those people of lower income pay more taxes compared to those top 1% of rich people.. Though taxes are suppose to related to one's income, it is though impartial to poorer people to shell out what they really cant afford.

“Government implies the power of making laws. It is essential to the idea of a law, that it be attended with a sanction; or, in other words, a penalty or punishment for disobedience. If there be no penalty annexed to disobedience, the resolutions or commands which pretend to be laws will, in fact, amount to nothing more than advice or recommendation.”    

According to Hamilton, laws are to be obeyed and those who didn't oblige the law should be punished. I agree with Hamilton because to me, whats the point of making laws, if no one will follow it? Without expressing penalty for not following the law, no one would take it serious enough to follow it. The government would be weak, if its constituents didn't enforce the laws that are provided. Like Hamilton, I too feel that using enforcement is necessary to govern the people.
