Political Parties and their role in government
The passage extols political parties as useful tools to implement policy, arguing that united groups gain power to carry out measures, while warning that party abuses and unaccountable power threaten rights unless parties are kept in check by vigilant, critical citizens and external scrutiny.

It suggests parties are needed given empire scale and universal suffrage.
