Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Letter A is the correct answer.

Madison knew factions were inevitable and needed to be controlled. Even though Madison knew that destroying people's ability to form factions was a method that would work, he did NOT find it acceptable. He rejected it because he believed it would take away their liberty, and liberty was essential. Madison believed that controlling the effects was the best alternative to the problem.
