Factions

I think James Madison has a good point about factions. Madison recognizes that factions could become a problem in the United States. The members of the minority could be oppressed, if there is a majority faction that wants to take action. The federalist system makes a oppressing the minority very difficult to do.

How many factions do you think there will be?
Do you think that Republicans and Democrats are factions?
Do you think factions are kept in control today?
Would you change anything in the government today?
Do you think Federalist 10 is still true today?

I think a faction is a group of people who have a common cause and common ideology.

I do think both Republicans and Democrats are factions. I think they stay too loyal to the ideas they are supposed to have, instead of thinking for themselves.
