Answer to Question 1

Answer: A

Answer to Question 2

An ideal response will:

2, Explain why Hamilton's view fits with an elitist viewpoint, not a pluralist viewpoint. In particular, Hamilton stresses that political leaders should not follow the general public opinion; instead, leaders should help shape public opinion.
