At the time of the writting of the Constitution by the delegates to the Constitutional Convention, there were no political parties in the United States. Two groups emerged to fight for or against ratification of the new Constitution. Those who favored the Constitution were called Federalists. Those who opposed the Constitution became known as Anti-Federalists. Once the Constitution was ratified, political parties did emerge, even though many of the Founding Fathers, especially George Washington, opposed the creation of political parties, or "factions" as they were then called. The Federalists did become our first political party, led by men such as John Adams and Alexander Hamilton. Those who had been against the ratification of the Constitution soon joined with others who favored states' rights over a too powerful federal government. They became the second Political Party called the Democratic-Republicans, led by men like Jefferson.Read more: Who_were_the_two_political_parties_that_supported_the_Constitution
