appearances, but instead at these
inner organs.
Hearts

persons” comes from this number in
Acts.
Acts 10

these types of societies is to
Christianize those who are not
Christians.

married an Indian and white person

value.

Glass,” with this five-letter phrase.

the word, Apess identifies this belief
as the sole basis for discrimination
against American Indians.

identifies contradictions between

theology.

rights
This form of government consists of
a small number of citizens who
assemble and administer the
government in person, according to
Madison.
pure democracy
Theoretic politicians have wrongly
believed that by giving everyone
equal political rights, citizens would
share these three equalities.
possessions, opinions, and
passions

government is one in which a
scheme of representation takes
place.
republic
Federalist No. 10 argues that this
form of government promises a cure
for the negative effects of factions.
republic

No. 10, representative officials have
