What did james madison argue in federalist 10?

The correct answer is C. That a national government would guard against factions and special interests better than state government would

Explanation:

The Federalist 10 was an essay published in 1787 by James Madison, who was a recognized Founding Father. In this essay, Madison focuses on the concept of "faction" that refers to groups that naturally form due to interest, and that might harm politics. About this, Madison states factions cannot be avoided but they can be guarded and the general interests can be preserved through the national government.

Indeed, for Madison, the best way to counteract against factions and particular interest is the national government, which is more efficient at this than state governments, which are likely to focus on the communities' interests. Thus, in this document, Madison argues "that a national government would guard against factions and special interests better than state government would."
