Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Madison defines a faction as a group of citizens, whether a majority or minority, who are united by a common interest adverse to the rights or interests of other citizens or the national interest. An interest group fits this definition as it is a group of citizens who come together to advocate for a specific issue or set of issues that may not align with the interests of other citizens or the national interest. The media, legislature, and executive branch are not factions because they are not necessarily united by a common interest that is adverse to the rights or interests of other citizens or the national interest.
