Questions: Why did James Madison support the Constitution? It created a democracy in which all citizens could vote on all issues. It encouraged factions, which led to more debate and discussion. It kept the minority factions from stopping the majority factions from passing legislation. It created a republic in which people were represented by elected leaders.

The answer is: It created a republic in which people were represented by elected leaders.

This option is incorrect. James Madison did not support the idea of a pure democracy where all citizens could vote on all issues. He believed that such a system could lead to the tyranny of the majority, where the rights of minority groups could be overridden by the majority.

While Madison acknowledged the existence of factions in Federalist No. 10, he did not support the Constitution because it encouraged factions. Instead, he believed that the structure of the republic would help control the effects of factions by diluting their power across a large and diverse nation.

This option is partially correct but not the primary reason Madison supported the Constitution. Madison was concerned about both majority and minority factions. He believed that a well-constructed union would break and control the violence of faction, preventing any one group from having too much power.

This is the correct answer. James Madison supported the Constitution because it established a republic where citizens would elect representatives to make decisions on their behalf. This system was designed to balance the need for effective governance with the protection of individual rights, preventing any one group from gaining too much power.
