Read the excerpt below and answer the question.

Let me add, that it is the great desideratum, by which this form of Government can be rescued from the
opprobrium under which it has so long labored, and be recommended to the esteem and adoption of
mankind.
What is the "great desideratum" Madison refers to in this excerpt?
to sacrifice self-interest for the common good
to allow greater liberty to act in one's own self-interest
O to eliminate the existence of factions whatever the cost
to guard against the influence of factions while preserving liberty
