LAD #5: Federalist

1.  Why are factions so difficult to eliminate?
Factions were difficult to eliminate because by taking them away, liberty would also be eliminated. All people have their rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Government cannot take away a person's liberty. Also factions are formed from people's opinions. Passion is very difficult to erase, especially if it resides in a large number of people. The government would have trouble containing that many people who feel so strongly about their factions. Eliminating them would be a challenge greater than they could handle.


2.  If factions cannot be removed then how can they be controlled?
In order for factions to be controlled, the point of what they're trying to protest needs to be contained. If the government has control over the issue, than the faction can't change anything over their disagreeing problem. Or if everybody has the same opinion over the matter, than everyone would agree and there would be no need for a faction.
