The assortment of government interest parties is cultivated by the pluralism of the government at the federal, regional, and local levels. Nationally, the Madisonian view of government by separation of powers with checks and balances makes for an absence of a coalesced focus of power. Everyone has the right to free speech in America, so it is necessary to have pluralism to allow every faction and group be allowed the opportunity to voice their opinion. Pluralism enhances the Madisonian view of government because the multi-party system creates distributed declarations and power throughout special interest groups, but the pluralist theory does not accommodate "We the People" in terms of all the people in the United States having equal influence because minority groups are constantly fighting against the will of the majority.
Within every branch of the government coercion groups and factions representing minority interests compete for power amongst themselves to shape the course of public policy, and gain control over policy decisions. The Role of Interest Groups in Government, by Pendelton Herring, states that "federal administrative services do not constitute an overpowering monolithic entity but rather an uneven array of agencies, each with its own constituency of supporters and often facing its specialized critics" (Herring). The largest source of multiplication of public coercion groups comes from the pluralistic disposition of the executive branch. Every organization stands for an independent component, and has administrative plans that diverge from different portions of the bureaucracy. The plans of the organizational agencies usually coincide within reach to the plans of private factions within their components. Federalist No. 10 by James Madison explains, "A zeal for different opinions concerning religion, concerning government, and many other points, as well of speculation as of practice; an attachment to different leaders have, in turn, divided mankind into parties" (Madison).
