    Federalist No. 10: How Do Factions Affect the President as Administrator-in-Chief?
    in Public Administration Review , Volume 71, Issue Supplement s1 ,  2011 ,  s22–s28
    Federalist No. 10 arguably is the most frequently read of the Federalist Papers, in no small measure because it offers a distinct and often negative image of the polity as a source of conflict. It argues that factions cannot be tamed, but they can be controlled. This essay argues that factions have weakened effective public administration and offers a detailed discussion of the proliferation of interest groups and their role in undermining the system of checks and balances.
