Madison reasoned that the opposing party would feel victimized that the government is "disregarding the rights of another or the good of the whole," as Madison put it. And this negligence felt by either party would cause conflict not only between the parties, but in the country as well. Also, the people felt factions would rip their beloved country apart, that they fought hard for in the Revolutionary War they just came out of.
IN the newspaper "the federalist" he wrote that no faction would be able to control the government because the USA is too big
James Madison believed in the power of rhetoric and logic, believing all positions could be addressed and debated in cases of spirit and faction. This was especially beneficial if one group felt they were being discriminated against by another group, or having their needs denied for the benefit of the whole, argument was needed to resolve these conflicts.

"I think it was Madison who wanted as many factions as possible so that no single faction could take power." Yahoo Answers
He refers to 'faction' as a political group of people.
Madison believes that a society broken into many parts, or factions, will not danger minority rights because in a large and diverse society, no single faction would be able to gain complete control. Each faction would have to negotiate and compromise with other factions in order to govern, which would help protect minority rights from being oppressed by the majority faction. Additionally, Madison argues that the existence of multiple factions would prevent tyranny by dividing power and preventing any one group from becoming too dominant.
