Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Madison's conception of a faction in Federalist No. 10 refers to a group of people motivated by a common interest or passion that can be detrimental to the rights of others or to the common good. An interest group fits this description more closely than the other options listed, as it is a group of individuals organized to promote a specific set of goals or policies. The media, women, and the legislature do not necessarily share a common interest or passion that would make them a faction in Madison's sense.
