In a small republic, it is more likely that corrupt men
could persuade people to elect them to power. In a
large republic, there are more potential candidates
to choose from, and it is less likely that local passions
will control elections.
Representatives elected in a large republic would
soon be beyond control by the people and abuse
their power for selfish and corrupt purposes.
The diverse interests in a large republic will continually be in conflict with each other, making it ineffective.
Because the causes of faction are a permanent part
of human nature, government must be designed to
control the effects of faction.
Brutus 1
One of the most important benefits of a well constructed union is that the structure helps solve the
problems created by factions.
Powerful elective offices will attract ambitious and
sneaky men who are likely to abuse their power.

The people must be careful about parting with power
(as in creating a strong central government) because
they are unlikely to ever get it back.
A large republic makes it more likely that individual
rights will be protected because it is harder for anyone
to gain a position to oppress others.
A large republic cannot safeguard the public good.
In a republic, the will of the people is channeled
through representatives who are expected to act with
virtue and prioritize the public welfare. Furthermore,
the formation of dominant majorities will be suffi-
ciently dispersed to prevent any harmful actions.
Federalist #10
The public good is safer in a large republic than in a
small one.
If the new government leads to a loss of liberty, then
the United States, the place where liberty has the best
chance to succeed, will fail and future generations will
blame and despise us.
