Quizplus · Accepted Answer

James Madison believed that factions (groups of people with a common interest who may work against the public good) were a danger to the republic. He believed that factions could lead to the oppression of minority groups and the pursuit of narrow self-interest instead of the common good. Madison argued in Federalist No. 10 that the best way to address this problem was through a large, diverse republic that would make it difficult for any one faction to dominate.
