The solutions to the mortal disease of faction that James Madison raised in Federalist No. 10 in 1787, are no longer viable in the modern age due to the invention of the internet and a decline in political sentiment. Through an analysis of Madison’s Greek and Roman influences, this issue can be approached in the same manner that he did, and new solutions (or at least salves) to this perpetual problem can be created in order to secure the future.
