Political faction is meant the same way it is used in the Federalist Papers. The more common term is political party.
It assures representation for minority views, without being so absurd as to grant represtation of any party that gets only a vote or two. As things are today, this wouldn't have a lot of effect. All legislative seats would be held by Demorats and Republicans.
The parties themselves might be left to determine how a slate of candidates is chosen. One may have a central committee do it and another may have a statewide primary.
That was a point I thought best left vague.
