Trying to get rid of the factions, conflicts within a nation, by two ways: by destroying the liberty which is essential to its existence; the other, by giving to every citizen the same opinions, the same passions, and the same interests. Liberty is to faction what air is to fire, liberty is what keeps factions going just like air keeps fire going, which is why they said they could take away liberty to get rid of faction.
A republic has an advantage over democracy because it controlls the effects of a faction. This way when factious leaders stir something up, they can only do something in their state not the whole Union. A republic reduces the different political parties, the fewer the parties the easier it is to get a majority, making it harder to create a faction.
