D. Powerful interests can capture the government and expand their self interest at the expense of the minorities, is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Federalist number ten was the essay written by James Madison and was published on November 22, 1987. The No 10 essay deals with the question that how the citizens rights could be reconciled with the interests of the community. He thought that factions were dangerous because as long as people would have money had property, they would keep forming factions and alliances with wealthy people and that could go against public interest and infringe the rights of others.
