See how Kuest teaches it

It asks before it tells, so you do the thinking and it sticks.

You: What was Madison's argument in Federalist No. 10?
Kuest: Federalist 10 is about factions. First: where did Madison think factions come from?
You: From human nature and liberty, since people have different opinions and property. So his solution was to ban factions.
Kuest: You've got the causes right. But Madison rejected removing the causes: taking away liberty would be a cure worse than the disease. So if he can't remove the causes, what can he control?
You: The effects. A large republic has so many factions that no single one can take over.
Kuest: Exactly. A large, representative republic dilutes any one faction's power. That's the core idea you'll need for free-response questions on pluralism.

Madison accepted factions as unavoidable and argued a large republic controls their effects instead of their causes.
