One of the reasons for this was the idea of factions, as addressed in Madison’s Federalist No. 10. So what is the definition of a faction? Your Answer: A faction as stated by The Federalist paper, "...whether amounting to a majority or a minority of the whole, who are united and actuated by some common impulse of passion, or of interest, adverse to the rights of other citizens, or to the permanent and aggregate interests of the community." This meant that it would be a political gathering (otherwise known as a political party) of people that were united based on a common case, they also didn't care for the right of other citizens. Refer to Paragraph 2 of Federalist No. 10. Question 2 5 / 5 pts (TCO 2) Why are factions a threat to a democratic government? Your Answer: Factions are a risk to the government because as a cohesive group, they could destroy or dismantle levels of the government. The democratic government which is based on voting could easily crumble if the faction was able to gain control of the government; which would lead to a collapsing of the government. Refer to Paragraph 2 of Federalist No. 10.
