1. Factions are difficult to eliminate because either liberty has to be destroyed or to force or give the same opinion to every citizen. This makes things very difficult because liberty is what allows a faction to form and so without it the faction means nothing, destroying liberty would be contradicting everything the United States Government stands for. At the same time it's just as difficult to instill the identical opinion on every citizen because people have their own opinions and views and so its almost impossbile to successfully have every citizen agree or think the same way. Also, liberty and individual opinion go hand in hand so if theres liberty, you cannot force opinion.

2. Although factions cannot be removed, they can still be controlled in a number of ways. One way is to prevent the existence of similar ideas or beliefs through a majority of people, this way religion will not be able to control factions. Republican laws like having a representative for a certain region also helps because then one faction will "control" a certain region but it won't affect other factions because they'll have different representatives and ideas to go with them. The idea of majority rules also works in controlling a faction, yet this only works if the faction is a minority. If this is the case then "majority rules" can override the faction in a democratic way.
