Answer 2

Answer:

D. The power to provide security to security to all the citizens.

Explanation:

Madison stated that if factions are the dominant force, they may possess a threat to the liberty of the others. He elaborated on the consequence of the factions ("group of people within a political organization possessing common belief") taking over the government. He further displayed that they may prove fatal for the state and citizens as they may alter the laws and taxes. Thus, the government would lose its power to secure the rights of the citizens. Madison propounded the formation of the Republic in order to combat these factions and the threat they possess to the individual rights and liberty and reform the law and order of the state.
