There are two methods of curing the mischief of factions: the one, by removing its causes; the other, by controlling its effects.
There are again two methods of removing the causes of faction: the one, by destroying the liberty which is essential to its existence; the other, by giving to every citizen the same opinions, the same passions, and the same interests.
(47) It could never be more truly said than of the first remedy, that it was worse than the disease. (48) Liberty is to faction what air is to fire, an ailment without which it instantly expires. (49) But it could not be less folly to abolish liberty, which is essential to political life, bec
