LAD # 5: The Federalist Papers : No. 10


1. Why are factions so difficult to eliminate?
   Factions, or the groups of people who are so strong about one belief with unity and a sense of rebellion, are difficult to eliminate because of this reason. They are so strong about their beliefs that they gain followers and preach to others and since they believe fully in what they talk about, they will stop almost nothing until they recieve what they would like. This passion makes it hard to break up.

2. If factions cannot be removed then how can they be controlled?
   Different factions have to be controlled in different ways. For a minority faction or just a small group of believers would be easier to control than a faction that consists of the majority of the people. In order to remove the faction of a minority the other majority of the people could vote to rule what they want out. They can decide that what the faction want is not good and therefore the over powerment would end the faction. But if this is with the majority of the people, sometimes a change in government would be the solution. Going to a republic so that only elected people would run the goverenment rather than the people therefore the faction would not over rule everyone else. Yet this is not always the best solution for sometimes the goverenment should give the faction what they would like, either the liberty or interest or ideas they want in order to spread this wish to all the people which ultimatly illiminates the faction since its in the minds of everyone and is no longer just a group of people. Yet in general, a faction takes much effort to be removed and can cause much change and distress if it is in the minds of a large percentage of the population.
