1. Why are factions so difficult to eliminate? Factions are difficult to eliminate because it would have to be accomplished by either taking away liberty of the people or making sure each citizen has the same opinions. Doing either of these things is very unrealistic which makes it harder to remove factions from the political world. taking away liberty from the people would be going against what the colonists fought for so many years and it is morally wrong. People will never have the same opinion on anything because no two people think or act the same way.
2. If factions cannot be removed how can they be controlled? Factions can be controlled by instituting a republic government and its principle that majority overrules minority. This type of government would alter the way representation takes place and would eliminate an abundance of various political parties and unworthy candidates. In America a republic would work better than a democracy because a democracy is better for controlling a smaller population of people and a republic can handle a large country like ours. Also a republic allows several factions to be represented through elected representatives where in a democracy each person represents themselves.
