9 So We re Stuck with Factions, Now What? 6. The two remedies for controlling the effects of factions are to form a large republic and pinning factions against each other. 7. Large factions are more easily controlled in large republics because when there are more people there are more opinions to compete and competition between factions is one of the ways to control the effects caused by them.

11 Federalism 8. Federalism is the system of government in which states are united under a nation government. A federalist government is a large republic meaning there will be more room for factions to compete.

13 Madison s Opinion 9. Madison s most persuasive argument is that the only way to destroy the problems with factions is to take away the freedoms given to have the differing ideas that cause interest groups. His least persuasive argument is that the only way to calm the arguing factions is to have them compete. 10. Madison is convinced that humans are driven by self interest. In result the Constitution now has: Separation of powers, checks and balances, federalism.

15 Was Madison Right? 11. Factions divide us and make it extremely difficult to make unanimous decisions and changes to the constitution. They make it nearly impossible to have the common good Madison wanted.
