Political parties started with Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton. Both men had totally opposite views on most things(French Revolution, National Bank, XYZ Affair), causing Jefferson to start his on party, the democratic-Republicans, believing it to be for the best. That left the Federalists, who sided with Alexander Hamilton.

political parties began in America by a simple argument between two of George Washington's important advisors. thomas Jefferson (secretary of state) and Alexander Hamilton (secretary of treasury) were arguing about the nation's economy and viewed the roles of government differently. Jefferson thought that the national government had too much power but Hamilton thought that is was good to leave as much power to the national government. People sided with Jefferson and people sided with Hamilton and the political parties began.

Political Parties are a natural part of human political interaction. People will naturally disagree on how government should function and what benefits it should confer on its various members. When people come together to choose a platform of ideals, this becomes a political party.
