“The diversity in the faculties of men, from which the rights of property originate, is not less an insuperable obstacle to a uniformity of interests”
— James Madison
Simplified Meaning:
People have different skills and abilities, and because of these differences, property rights exist. These differences also mean that people will always have different interests and cannot all want the same thing.
