can someone help me out?
1. James Madison argued that even though one could not eliminate the causes of faction, one could reduce its effects by fragmenting political power. Explain how the system created by the Constitution was designed to prevent a single faction from dominating the political system.
2. State the case for viewing the Constitution as an elitist document designed to protect the interests of a specific, cohesive group. Explain why you agree or disagree with this explanation of the Constitution.
3. Assess the validity of the claim that Congress represents “the people.” To what extent, when and in what ways can Congress be seen as an institution that responds to the country’s elites? To what extent, when and in what ways does Congress represent the general public? Give examples of both.
4. What are the different styles of representation practiced by members of Congress? Does the constant quest for reelection have a positive or negative impact on representation? Explain how and why.
