Why did the American two party system develop?

Answer 1

Well i suppose they developed just plainly because everyone have a different opinion. It's just human nature and everyone had different views on how to govern the American people. Political Parties are basically just groups of people with different opinions.

Thomas Jefferson

Thomas Jefferson was a southern plantation owner and because of this he believed that common people, like farmers, should be able to govern them selves. Jefferson wanted more democracy in the US government then they had in the British government. He had a "strict" view of the constitution. This means that he thought we should limit the power of the central government but we should have states' rights.

Jefferson opposed a national bank. He felt congress had to much power especially if they could create a national bank. Jefferson believed that the states should create their own paper money, make loans, and keep tax funds safe (this is what the national bank would do.) Jefferson also thought that we should have low tariffs to keep goods cheap for farmers and that we should make laws to help farmers in times of trouble.

Alexander Hamilton

Alexander Hamilton was one of the youngest and smartest of the founders of the United States. Hamilton was a federalist which means that he favors a strong central government. Hamilton wanted a limited monarchy like what Great Britain had. A monarchy is like having a king or queen. If Hamilton couldn't have that then he wanted a strong aristocratic republic, with members of the government elected for life. But Alexander Hamilton did support the constitution. With the help of James Madison and John Jay, he wrote a series of essays or newspaper articles that was in favor of ratification of the constitution. These paper were later collected and put together to form what we now as "The Federalists Papers." These essays helped win New York's ratification and they influenced the rest of the country. Hamilton had a "loose" view of the constitution which means he wanted a strong central government and a limit on states' rights. Alexander Hamilton believed that we should have a national bank.

presidents want two different things. Democrats want things to change with the times and evolve, while Republicans likes things to stay the same.
