Question

What was Madison’s purpose in defining terms such as faction, pure democracy, and republic? How does this strategy help to further his purpose?

Answer 1

Answer:

Madisson's purpose was to show the relationships that these terms have within the country. By defining these terms it allows people to understand how the policy should be carried out within the national territory and how to work to reduce the harms of these terms and highlight the benefits.

Explanation:

We cannot understand the functioning of a system and be able to combat the problems it presents, in addition to stimulating the benefits it presents without being aware of the concept of its terms, the relationships between them what they cause within that system.

For this reason, Madison in Federalist 10, decided to conceptualize terms such as faction, pure democracy and republic. This way, citizens would be informed about the relationship between these terms, the results achieved with them and how to use them to always promote the good of the nation.
