Refer to the passage. Which statement best reflects the principles of
representation supported by James Madison in this
passage?
The smaller the number of individuals composing a
majority, and the smaller the compass within which they
are placed, the more easily will they concert and execute
their plans of oppression. Extend the sphere, and you
take in a greater variety of parties and interests; you
make it less probable that a majority of the whole will
have a common motive to ihvade the rights of other
citizens.
-James Madison, Federalist, no. 10
O The president represents the widest range of political
viewpoints because a presidential election requires a
majority in the Electoral College.
O The Senate represents the widest variety of political
views because each senator's election rests on
approval from a majority of voters in each state.
O The House represents the widest range of political
viewpoints because it contains a large number of
members, all representing their constituents' political
views
O The federal court system ensures the widest number
of viewpoints because judges outnumber other
elected officials and therefore represent the most
political views
