Federalist No.10 of 1787
In Federalist 10, Madison wrote about the formations of factions and two remedies that can cure the mischief’s of a faction. He also wrote about two methods that remove the causes of factions. In this essay I intend to write about the definition of a faction, the methods of abolishing, or at least controlling a faction’s effects. Were all suggested through Madison’s writing that modern political leaders have chosen to take the advice of Madison in Federalist 10. In the essay Federalist 10, James Madison defines a faction as a number of citizens that are either a majority or a minority of the whole. They must be grouped together by a common surge of emotion, and interest, different beliefs than others citizens, and usually go against the interests of others in the community. Basically, he writes about a very large or very small group of people that are united together to oppose another group, government or law. The first explanation that Madison gives to deal with factions is to remove its causes or control it’s affects. By this he means that the government should find a way to adjust the clashing interests of the people, either in a democratic vote or another way that is subservient to the public good.
