Factions Revisited

fac·tion1
ˈfakSH(ə)n/
noun
  1. a small, organized, dissenting group within a larger one, especially in politics.


Madison: "By a faction, I understand a number of citizens, 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, adversed to the rights of other citizens, or to the permanent and aggregate interests of the community."

For our final writing assignment, I would like you to revise your analysis essay on the Federalist Paper #10 and add a research component to it. Explore the constitution of a modern government of your choice, and show and explain how it explicitly or implicitly deals with Monroe's problem of factions. The final paper should again follow MLA format and be approximately 2000 words. It is due in Turnitin.com on Monday, November 14th, by 11:59p.m.
