Federalist Paper #10

In the 10th Federalist Paper, the argument is being made that the United States should be treated as a large republic in order to be successful. Factions are believed to be the biggest threat to the union. However the only way to control these factions would be to squash the right of every citizen to liberty and to force common ideas, beliefs, and opinions onto every citizen. With a republic it would be possible to control these factions. With a large number of national delegates one faction would not be able to use the assembly for its personal agenda. No delegate would be pressured by another.
