1. Why are factions so difficult to eliminate? It is human nature to form opinions on different issues, and these opinions often become filled with passion. This leads people to find other people who have the same opinions and discuss with them, thus creating political factions. One topic that has often led to disagreement in the past is the uneven distribution of property. Men who do not own property will almost always have different opinions then men who do. This also leads to the questioning of legislature. If men want things that will be of good to themselves and people like them, then if there is a majority of people who live one way the laws passed will often go to help people like them.
2. If factions cannot be removed then how can they be controlled? One way to control factions is to not let a faction with the majority have all the power. Keep power balanced even if there is an obvious majority in one faction. Some politicians believe that if all men were equal in right then there would be no factions because they would have the same opinions and passions. Also, such opinions filled with so much passion are very unlikely to spread throughout a country or even a state. Most opinions do not take over an area larger than a county or district.
