Washington opposed political parties. He had led an army consisting of people from all walks of life. Americans were willing to obey army rules if they knew why they existed. British solders had to be whipped into shape. That was why Americans made better solders. He believed political parties would divide Americans into special interest groups. On the other hand, Jefferson saw that Congress levied taxes on people on the frontier, the group least able to pay them. He favored political parties giving the downtrodden a voice.
