Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Madison argued that a large republic would be better able to control the effects of factions because it would be more difficult for any single faction to dominate the political process. By expanding the sphere of participation, a wider variety of interests and opinions would be represented, making it harder for any one faction to impose its will on others.
