Andrea Cain · Answer 1

a. the large size of the United States was a source of political stability.

Explanation:

In The Federalist Papers, James Madison, who was a firm opponent to factions, argued that the large size of the United States was a source of political stability because in a large and diverse republican nation, it would be unlikely that a majority of people agreed on the same issues and hence, factions, which had a destructive role in society, would have less power.
