Explanation:

Since you've provided a set of questions related to the Federalist Papers (specifically Excerpt 2: Federalist No. 10 by James Madison) and some questions about Hamilton, here are answers to the questions under Excerpt 2 (Federalist No. 10) using the Answer - Explanation Format:

Question 1: What does Madison say causes factions to form?

Madison states that the latent (inherent) causes of faction are "sown in the nature of man" and are brought into different degrees of activity based on the different circumstances of civil society. So the inherent nature of humans, along with civil - society circumstances, leads to factions.

Since the causes of faction are rooted in human nature, and human nature is not something that can be fundamentally changed or eliminated, the underlying reasons for the formation of factions (related to human nature and civil - society conditions) are inescapable. So he means that the fundamental reasons (related to human nature and civil - society circumstances) for factions to form are inherent and cannot be eradicated.

• Removing a cause: This would involve eliminating the root reason why something (like a faction) occurs. For faction, it would mean changing human nature or the basic structure of civil society to get rid of what makes factions form. But Madison says this is impossible for faction.
• Controlling an effect: This means that instead of getting rid of the thing that causes a problem (faction), you manage the outcomes or consequences of that problem. For faction, it would be finding ways to limit what factions can do (e.g., stop them from causing harm to the republic, from dominating politics unjustly) without eliminating why they form.

Answer:

Madison says the latent (inherent) causes of faction are sown in the nature of man, and they are brought into different degrees of activity according to the different circumstances of civil society.

Question 2: What does he mean when he says "the causes of faction cannot be removed"?
