How does James Madison define a "faction" in Federalist No. 10?

• A group of citizens united by a common interest that aligns with the community's aggregate interests.

• A small group of citizens who always represent the minority view.

• A number of citizens, whether majority or minority, united by a common impulse or interest, adverse to the rights of others or the community's interests.

• A political party that seeks to dominate government for the common good.

Why does James Madison reject the idea of removing the causes of factions?

• It would lead to a pure democracy, which he supported.

• It would destroy liberty, which is essential to political life.

• It would make it impossible for any group to gain power.

• It would only create more factions.

What is James Madison's proposed solution to control the effects of factions?

• Establishing a pure democracy where the majority rules.

• Creating a small, homogeneous republic.

• Implementing a republican government over a large, diverse nation.

• Abolishing all political parties and interests.
