1. Why are factions so difficult to eliminate?
Factions are so difficult to eliminate for a few reasons. The first reason in that if factions were eliminated, the liberty of the colonial citizens would be abolished as well. The second reason is that the colonials would be forced to conform and have the same thoughts, interests, and passions. Because liberty is the basis of political life and essential to the well being of the colonies and the governments, liberty cannot be taken away with factions. If everyone was forced to have the same thoughts and ideas, the United States would transform into a Communism rather than a democracy. It is impossible to request that men have the same thoughts because having original thoughts is inevitable and man has a liberty to exercise free thought.
2. If factions cannot be removed then how can they be controlled?
The factions themselves cannot be removed, but the effects of those factions can be altered. Laws regulating factions were put into place. If a majority of a group vote for something, then that majority defeats the minority in the process. When the faction includes a majority of the population, it can be controlled as well. Another cure for the faction issues is a government in which there is representation and equal delegation of power. Each state is limited to a certain number of delegates so that no one state can overpower another. There must be a large enough group of delegates to get work done, but a small enough group to prevent arguments and be successful.
