conspiracy .
Usage : {
Cabal }, {
Combination }, {
Faction }.
An association for some purpose considered to be bad is the idea common to these terms .
A combination is an organized union of individuals for mutual support ,
in urging their demands or resisting the claims of others ,
and may be good or bad according to circumstances ;
as ,
a combiniation of workmen or of employers to effect or to prevent a change in prices .
A cabal is a secret association of a few individuals who seek by cunning practices to obtain office and power .
A faction is a larger body than a cabal ,
employed for selfish purposes in agitating the community and working up an excitement with a view to change the existing order of things . "
Selfishness ,
insubordination ,
and laxity of morals give rise to combinations ,
which belong particularly to the lower orders of society .
Restless ,
jealous ,
ambitious ,
and little minds are ever forming cabals .
Factions belong especially to free governments ,
and are raised by busy and turbulent spirits for selfish purposes ". --
