Madison definition of Faction

Madison says a faction is like a group of citizens who unite together because they have a common impulse of passion, interests, and ideas. He says factions have bad effects on the nations and he seems to not like them at all. He says that the only way to stop big factions from causing problems is to create more so their would be no homogenous faction. Madison wanted to get rid of factions, but he said it would be very difficult to do so.

Questions:
1. What would happen if a faction had too much power in our country?
2. Are factions really that bad? Was Madison just overreacting? They just unite people together to achieve a common goal.
3. What would be considered a faction in our modern era?
4. How are factions created and how long can they last for?
5. If a faction has bad points, then what are its good points?

I define a faction as a group of people that join together because of same ideas or interests. Like a club at school. They group of together after school and do things they all like. Another example could be a team sport such as football. They all work together to achieve victory together. From how Madison states it a faction sounds a lot like clubs and possibly our politcal parties today.
