LAD #5: Federalist #10

 
 
 
 
 
1.  Why are factions so difficult to eliminate?
In eliminating a faction, basic rights of people are also being taken away. We are a country that puts value and pride in our democratic society; the act of eliminating a faction consequently eliminating rights would go against many of the American principles. Furthermore, if a faction was to be eliminated, all people involved would have to have the same views and opinions, which essentially ends all hope as this is impossible to achieve.
 
2. If factions can not be removed then how can they be controlled?
Since it is a foregone conclusion that factions cannot be removed, efforts must be made to control them so they do not get out of hand. Perhaps the most effective way of doing this is to enforce a Republican government. In doing so, representatives are elected to represent their faction; this differs from a democracy, where every citizen stands for himself. In addition, a Republic will also eliminate small faction groups and clear the way for more worthy groups.
