ANSWER ASAP PLEASE Which statement best reflects the principles of representation supported by James Madison in this passage? Refer to the passage. The smaller the number of individuals composing a majority, and the smaller the compass within which they are placed, the more easily will they concert and execute their plans of oppression. Extend the sphere, and you take in a greater variety of parties and interests; you make it less probable that a majority of the whole will have a common motive to invade the rights of other citizens. -James Madison, Federalist, no. 10 The president represents the widest range of political viewpoints because a presidential election requires a majority in the Electoral College. The Senate represents the widest variety of political views because each senator's election rests on approval from a majority of voters in each state. The House represents the widest range of political viewpoints because it contains a large number of members, all representing their constituents' political views. The federal court system ensures the widest number of viewpoints because judges outnumber other elected officials and therefore represent the most political views.

Explanation:

This was evident when James Madison declared on May 25 1787, during the Constitutional Convention, that "The lesson we are to draw from the whole is, that where a majority are united by a common sentiment, and have an opportunity, the rights of the minor party become insecure. In a republican government, the majority, if united, have always an opportunity. The only remedy is, to enlarge the sphere, and thereby divide the community into so great a number of interests and parties, that, in the first place, a majority will not be likely, at the same moment, to have a common interest separate from that of the whole, or of the minority; and, in the second place, that in case they should have such an interest, they may not be so apt to unite in the pursuit of it."
