How has the contemporary legislative branch responded to factions?

The correct answer is the following.

Contemporary legislative branch responded to factions by making decisions that benefit the whole country, to all the citizens, not only the members of a faction.

We are referring to Federalist 10.  

A faction is formed by a group of people with personal agendas that have a particular interest. They only work for the benefit of their faction or against other factions. Sometimes they stepped onto others in order to get what they wanted. That is why people like James Madison wanted to form a Republic. To look for an entire nation, for all people´s necessities. He believed that with the creation of a Republic, factions could be controlled.  

one of the major compromises in the constitutional convention was between the small states and big states. the small states wanted each state to have the same number of representatives in congress. the big states wanted representation based on population.

they both wanted to stop protestantism, they felt a call in life and it was to strengthen the church. charles used inquisition, philip used army's, charles gave control to outsiders, philip centralized all power.

hope this you !
