This Week’s Forum is all about the arguments made by James Madison in Federalist 10 (required reading). Madison argues that there are only 2 ways to deal with the problems relating to factions: eliminate the CAUSES or control the EFFECTS.

Also, what are some strengths and weaknesses to his “control the effects” plan?
