1. Why are factions so difficult to eliminate?
2. If factions cannot be removed then how can they be controlled?
Factions would have to be removed by removing their causes, but the only way to cap their influence is to control their effects. The simplest way is already in place, the policy of majority rule in the US Constitution dictates that if a faction is less than half of the general community, than they cannot have any real political effects. A fear associated with this is that the faction may sway voters their way through deceitful means and then turn on them with different ideas. Factitious leaders will be naturally less likely to be chosen to have sway in political affairs because there are too many voters to persuade that their ideas are correct when they are not.
