the power to tax
the power to declare war
the power to maintain a fair judiciary
the power to provide security to all citizens

The correct answer is:

the power to provide security to all citizens.

Explanation:

On the Federalist No. 10, James Madison stated the causes and effects of factions and defined a faction as a number of people united by a common interest and that represent a threat to the rights and liberties of other citizens. Madison explained that there are no methods to prevent factions, because it would requite to destroy liberty, which would be worse than factions, or to give every citizen the same opinion, which was absurd.

For Madison, if a faction could take over the government, and the legislative body, then the security of rights and property of the citizens would be in jeopardy, because there would be no way to keep that faction from interfering with taxes, laws and properties.

To prevent factions from taking over the government Madison proposed the creation of a Republic, where factions could be controlled because citizens would choose their representatives, forcing candidates to be prepared and to take care of the citizens' rights and interests. Madison stated that a pure Democracy would not prevent majority factions from taking over the government.

The excerpt where Madison explained that is the following:

"When a majority is included in a faction, the form of popular government, on the other hand, enables it to sacrifice to its ruling passion or interest both the public good and the rights of other citizens. To secure the public good and private rights against the danger of such a faction, and at the same time to preserve the spirit and the form of popular government, is then the great object to which our inquiries are directed".

The answer is D.) The power to provide security to all citizens.
