Question

what did \federalist no. 10\ address?
the dangers of factions forming within society
fears about the strength of the supreme court
the need for smaller more limited government

Explanation:

Federalist No. 10, written by James Madison, focuses on the threat factions pose to democratic governance. It argues that a large, diverse republic can mitigate factional conflicts by diluting their influence, rather than eliminating factions (which Madison saw as inevitable due to differing interests). The other options are incorrect: fears about the Supreme Court are not its focus, and it advocates for a stronger federal government (not smaller, limited government) to address factional issues.

Answer:

the dangers of factions forming within society
