The first U.S. political party was the Federalist Party founded by Alexander Hamilton. It believed in a strong central government, a sound financial structure and support of business. The second party formed was Democratic-Republican Party, usually called the Republican Party. It was formed by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison to oppose the Federalist Party's support for a strong central government believing distributed government (state's rights) was safer from the totalitarian tendencies of a central government.
