Question

james madison believed that america’s size and large population would ----. choose 1 answer: a lead to a government that would be too easily controlled by demagogues b make republican government impossible c prevent passionate mobs from mobilizing d make it difficult for people to understand the type of government they had

Explanation:

James Madison, in Federalist No. 10, argued that a large, diverse republic would prevent the formation of powerful, passionate majority factions (mobs) because the wide range of interests would make it hard for a single group to unify and dominate. The other options contradict his views: he rejected that size made republicanism impossible, did not fear easy demagogue control from size, and did not claim size would confuse people about their government.

Answer:

C. prevent passionate mobs from mobilizing
