Thai Leader Faces Challenge in Streets and Courts Found in the NYTimes.
This article is about the pro Gov, and anit-gov. They have protests in Bangkok some leading to violence.
This connects to something that we are studying in class right now, Federalists and Anti-federalists.
In this article they talk about the anti-gov trying to get rid of the government, which is like the anti-federalists. They did not think that we needed a government or anything that had to do with it. On the other hand there were the Federalists which did believe in having a government to help and protect the people. This is something that they said in the one of the Federalist papers # 10. "The friend of popular governments never finds himself so much alarmed for their character and fate, as when he contemplates their propensity to this dangerous vice." It is basically saying that someone who wants a government or is for the government , will not be shocked with some of the choices that they make. In this article there were two groups protesting . There was the anti-gov who wanted to get rid of the government and the pro-gov who were trying to get what they thought out, for the anti-gov protesters to hear it. Sometimes protest are not the best thing because some of them may lead to violence. Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej was being confronted because he is part of the government, he felt attacked and wondered what he had done to all of these people. Its not him that did something, it is just the fact that some people are not getting what they want, not everyone gets what they want there is always that other factor to everything.
