Question

In at least 150 words, discuss James Madison's theory that factionalism and liberty are inextricably linked with one another. Use evidence from the text to support your answer.

Answer 1

James Madison's theory treats freedom of expression as an intrinsic feature of democracy. In this way you should not use the pretext of "defense of democracy" to silence a man because you disagree with him, even if he is a fascist.

We can cite as evidence the power relationship between the king or president and the people. Freedom of expression does not exist for the tyrant to be silenced, but for him to speak and we can answer him.
