I suggest that everyone read "THE FEDERALIST PAPERS".
That is what our country and government is based on.
The belief that two opposed sides, both fighting for what they want, will bring balance and compromise is detailed in those papers.
Absolutely brilliant work and an eye opening look at how the system is supposed to work.
It should be manditory reading prior to anyone being able to vote or express an opinion on politics in this country IMO.
