• Question:-“Ambition must be made to counteract ambition…”How do these words fit into the Constitutional frameworkthat wa?
  Evaluate Madison’s words: “Ambition must be made to counteract ambition…”How do these words fit into the Constitutional frameworkthat was adopted? How well do these words reflect the needs of the 21st century?
  
  Answer:-Ambition is viewed as a quality that can be both a positive and a negative, depending on the situation and other attributes the person possesses. In terms of the Constitution, it can be seen as a reference to the "checks and balances" system in place for congress and the President (majority votes, laws passing both houses, and veto power), to help stop unfair laws from being passed that clearly work to th favor of one group. Of course the issue that comes up is when one political party is in the White House and also control both the House and Senate. These days, more than ever, it seems that voters will blindly vote for their political party without being sure of what the vote is even for. I'm not sure if that answers your home work question, or not :)

• Question:-What the difference between pride and ambition?
  I was reading something online and it said something was done out of pride rather than ambition? What's the difference?
  
  Answer:-Pride is when you are proud of yourself for accomplishing something. Ambition is to have the drive and really want to accomplish something.

• Question:-How do you strike a balance between ambition and comformity?
  There are days when I ambition so much that I live bitterly, always thinking I do not have enough. Always jealous of people that are higher up.

  How do you find a balance?
  
  Thanks.

• Question:-What are the effects of having too much power and even more ambition?
  I am doing a powerpoint presentation in which I am comparing Adolf Hitler and Lady Macbeth and both of them having too much power and even more ambition to come out on top. Also, what could be the purpose of my presentation? Please Help!
  
  Answer:-Well I'm no scholar or anything. But power more often than not tends to corrupt a person as they become aware of the fact that they solely decide their circumstances, and the circumstances of others. Ambition can be good so long as it doesn't get too far out of hand. I remember a quote....and I actually think it's from The Simpsons', " One person may be able to change the world, but they probably shouldn't. " Basically meaning, why should one person get to decide the fate of others? I don't know much about Macbeth, but Hitlers' ambition caused him to impact the fate of millions, if not billions of people. The purpose of your presentation could be to show that the winners are the one's that write the history books, the losers are the villains, and because they lost, they have no say in the matter.
