Question

What is the relationship between liberty and faction? how would thomas jefferson respond to a regime that attempts to control factions?

Answer 1

1) Factions can only arise in a consensus of freedom, because tyrannical governments do not allow opposition or different way of thinking, that is why a faction arises in the middle of freedom.
2) According to Tomas Jefferson, problems and internal differences were something that had to be accepted, and he preferred it instead of submitting to a foreign government that will inevitably create situations of oppression and tyranny. Jefferson had no problem dealing with factions, because he trusted the citizens who, well informed with their own government, would be able to settle differences and reach an agreement that would benefit all parties involved.
