Madison
was incorrect in the organization of the US government under the Constitution
providing adequate safeguards against the development of harmful factions.
Fractions are known for their problems
that cause democracy to fail, but removing their liberty is taking away the
foundation of the United States. Fractions are recognized for causing division
as well as becoming violent and powerful. When James Madison states “There are
two method of removing the causes of fractions: the one, by destroying the
liberty which is essential to its existence” (Madison, par. 3). When liberty is
removed everyone becomes the same, having the same passion, opinions, and
interest, thus taking away the diversity in America. Even though this tactic
may work to remove fractions, but it is not acceptable to the nation. The United States must come under
dictatorship in order to remove fraction, but remember the United States left Britain
due to a dictatorship. If James Madison takes away liberty he is transforming
the United States to be under a dictatorship therefore going against the Constitution
and the Declaration of Independence.
Madison cannot remove fractions, so
the best solution to control fractions is the attempt to control the bad
outcomes created from them. The main problem Madison came across was how to
control fractions without depriving them of their liberty. He acknowledges “But
if could not led folly to abolish liberty, which is essential to political
life”, (Madison, par.4), liberty does not only affect fractions but it affects
the major political groups, Republican and Democratic, as well. When liberty is
taking away the protection of one own rights is being taken away. It has been recognized
that people naturally are incline to be divisive. Therefore fractions are not
the only one to cause hostility and disagreement toward people, even if
fraction are removed due to divisive, there will be other sources that will
cause it.
