Cary and Justin return with a heated debate.  In doing so, they cleverly divide themselves into factions when discussing Federalist No. 10 in which Madison discusses the impact of factions on the government.  The guys agree that factions are inevitable, but how do we handle them?  Madison was clear that a large democratic republic is necessary to protect the liberty of the individual or minority group from the tyranny of the majority.  Was Madison prophetic, or horribly misguided? The guys debate how Madison’s theory holds up over time, and the best course to take in the modern political arena.
