"the influence of factious leaders may kindle a flame within their particular states, but will be unable to spread a general conflagration through the other states: a religious sect may degenerate into a political faction in a part of the confederacy; but the variety of sects dispersed over the entire face of it, must secure the national councils against any danger from that source: a rage for paper money, for an abolition of debts, for an equal division of property, or for any other improper or wicked project, will be less apt to pervade the whole body of the union." -publius (james madison), federalist no. 10, 1787 which of the following models of representative democracy is most consistent with the passage?
a. pluralism
b. elitism
c. majorotarianism
