Federalist 10 Essay?

Question

Can you help me answer some of these questions?

Why did Madison agree that the presence of “factions” and “interests” would aid the government in functioning democratically?
How would compromise prevent the “unjust majority” from taking control of the government?
Why did Madison believe that the “spirit of party and faction” would have a positive impact on the government?
Why did Madison believe that a large government would be more successful than a small government?

Answer 1

Factions keep the influence of religions to a minimum by not allowing them to become a powerful majority.
Compromise will allow a majority opinion to come through, even if it is a combination of several factions.
Madison was a strong believer in majority rule in democracy, but not if it allowed religious groups to gain control of the government. The secret is to force majority rule through parliamentary compromise, but to divide the religious groups into smaller factions through religious freedom.
A larger government was more reflective of the will of the people, and less likely to give into small religious factions.
