Federalist Papers No. 10

1.  Why are factions so difficult to eliminate? Factions are comprised of a group of citizens who have common interests and opinions. Each faction needs liberty to survive and thrive, but abolishing a citizen's right of liberty would be going against the Declaration of Independence. Therefore, if the main life support of a faction can't be stripped away or altered, it is difficult to eliminate.

2.  If factions cannot be removed then how can they be controlled? Since there are no ways to physically change interests or opinions of faction members, and lawfully there is no way to remove their liberty, something needs to be done to control them. Factions are started because a group of people, with the majority believing one way, want to go against previous governmental laws or actions they disagree with. If you try to influence a faction's ideals or change what it is in government they disapprove, maybe you can eliminate or lessen the desire to "rebel".

I used a picture of the American revolution as a relatable event because the revolutionists were essentially a faction united with the same desire for independence going against the Royal British Government.
