Madison believes that in a nation with a large population, factions would have less power in a republican government because the citizenry is too spread out to form factions with a large population, factions could not gain overwhelming power it's unlikely a majority of a large population would agree on issues states have far smaller populations than the country as a whole

It's unlikely a majority of a large population would agree on issues

Explanation:

This argument is part of the issues that James Madison deals with in his essay called Federalist No. 10. In such work, Madison briefly addresses the destructive role of factions and then proposes a way in which the negative effects of factions can be eliminated: in a large republic.

According to Madison, in a large and diverse republic nation, the variety of interests and opinions would be greater and citizenry would be spread out in a wider territory which would make it unlikely that a majority of a large population would agree on issues and have a common purpose, hence, in a Republican form of government, factions would have less power.
