James Madison address the issue of class in the composition of the House of Representatives in Federalist Paper #57

In Federalist Paper #57, James Madison presents arguments related to the concern that the House of representative would become only representative of the upper classes, to the dismay of the lower class.

Explanation:

Madison does not deny that representatives might probably be disproportionately from the upper class. However, he argues that these upper class representatives, will still be concerned with the issues that matter to the lower classes, simply because the majority of their electors come from the lower classes.

Because they need to be re-elected frequently, Madison says, representatives have to connect with their constituents, and represent their interests, otherwise, they risk removal from office.
