The Federalist #10
1. Why are factions so difficult to eliminate?
Factions are difficult to eliminate because abolishing one would be like taking away men's liberty. It also would be taking away their right to opinions, passions and interests. Factions occur due to common interests amongst a group. You can not simply eliminate one's interests and beliefs.
2. If factions cannot be removed then how can they be controlled?
Factions can be controlled by principles such as if a faction consists of less than a majority, then the majority can defeat the minority. They can also be controlled by reducing the power of them so that they don't overpower a government. Another way to control a faction would to sway members away from bias which could lead to them changing their beliefs.
