James Madison wanted to prevent factions or special interest groups Would it be possible to have a 'democratic' government without interest groups?
Many people had argued against the new Constitution claiming that the US would be too large to govern as a democracy (republic) and had too many interest groups, or "factions," as political parties were then called. While Madison acknowledged that there were many differing factions, he also indicated that a democratic form of government, using the ideal of majority rule, would tame the factions and cause them to work together as much as possible. He claimed that the republican form of government created by the new Constitution would allow all the factions the room and venues to express themselves and to influence the workings of government by getting their members elected and/or appointed to offices. Minority groups would be protected because the factions would have to negotiate their differences. In this way, the republic would create a system of government in which the majority would rule but the ideas of the minority would have to be taken into consideration. Numerous factions would also mean that no one group would be able to take complete control of the government and this would give rise to what Madison called "politics," namely, the art of governing.

How did James Madison define faction?
Of all the Federalist Papers written by John Jay, James Madison, and Alexander Hamilton, perhaps the most famous and the one most quoted is Federalist No. 10, by Madison. Many people had argued against the new Constitution claiming that the US would be too large to govern as a democracy (republic) and had too many groups, or “factions,” as political parties were then called. While Madison acknowledged that there were many differing factions, he also indicated that a democratic form of government, using the ideal of majority rule, would tame the factions and cause them to work together as much as possible. He claimed that the republican form of government created by the new Constitution would allow all the factions the room and venues to express themselves and to influence the workings of government by getting their members elected and/or appointed to offices. Minority groups would be protected because the factions would have to negotiate their differences. In this way, the republic would create a system of government in which the majority would rule but the ideas of the minority would have to be taken into consideration. Numerous factions would also mean that no one group would be able to take complete control of the government and this would give rise to what Madison called “politics,” namely, the art of governing.
What is Madison's theory for political parties and interest groups within the system?
In the Federalist Paper #10, Madison explained his theory of expanded republics: in a large and diverse population, there are too many special interests to allow for the formation of powerful factions (parties). Therefore, by its very nature, an expanded republic provides safeguards for the rights of the few against the will of the many. This is a safeguard that cannot exist in direct democracy which is one of the reasons Madison favored republican (representative) government. After the ratification of the Constitution, Madison admitted that there had always been political factions. By this time, he and fellow Virginian Thomas Jefferson, deeply alarmed by the economic policies of Secretary of the Treasurer Alexander Hamilton, had formed the Democratic-Republican Party to mount organized political opposition to the imposition of the Federalist will.
