When referred to in the Federalist Papers (Federalist Paper number ten) the concept of breaking into factions was discussed when stressing the importance of creating a Constitutional Republic and the dangers inherent in a pure democracy where the rights of the majority could effectively eliminate the rights of the minority. Factional or Partisan politics are now commonplace in American politics though and it seems as if many of the warnings by the Founding Fathers are now being viewed as having been presented with good cause.

To break into factions is to divide, in this case, based on a system of beliefs that differs from the beliefs of others (who would be within their own faction based on their beliefs) A faction can be defined as a small group of opponents within a much larger group or a subset of a larger set.
