The correct response that represents Madison's views on factions is:
Factions can best be controlled by having a large republic.
In Federalist No. 10, James Madison argues that a large republic is better able to control the effects of factions than smaller republics or direct democracy. He believed that a diverse and expansive republic would make it more difficult for any single faction to dominate.
