Answer:

b. republicanism

Step-by-step explanation:

In Federalist 10, Madison asserts that the only ways to resolve the emergence of factions would be the creation of an ideology according to which a nation is governed as a republic, in which the head of state is indicated by non-hereditary methods, often by elections , that is, the solution Madison found for factionalism was republicanism. Madisson himself said that "a republic, by which I mean a government in which the scheme of representation takes place, opens a different perspective, and promises the cure for which we are seeking"
