Unit 1 – Foundations of American Democracy
Topic 1.3
Why did James Madison in Federalist No. 10 argue that a large republic was the best defense against factions?
Because it increases the prosperity and power of the nation as a whole.
Because small republics are more prone to corruption and tyrannical rule.
Because it would allow for more equal representation of each state's interests.
Because it would make it difficult for any one faction to gain enough influence to oppress others.
