Why were the first 2 political parties formed?

Answer 1

Thomas Jefferson [& James Madison] had issues with everything Anthony Hamilton did and vice versa. After George Washington [the president at the time] continually passed bills proposed by Hamilton, Jefferson got really upset and quit. He went back home and created the Federalist Party. The first two parties in America were the Federalist and Anti-Federalist.

Answer 2

They resulted in large part due to the friction between Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson during Washington's administration. Hamilton believed in loose construction, meaning that the Constitution could be interpreted basically as needed (funding and assumption, national bank, etc.), and Jefferson believed in strict construction, that it was meant to be taken only as written. The parties formed around these ideas.

Answer 3

One of the leading causes to the formation of political parties was the difference of opinions of solutions to domestic issues, which consisted of the formation of the Bank of the United State, taxes on whiskey, and the tariff on imported goods. Only benefitting the rich leaving the poor out in the cold.

Answer 4

They developed because George Washington was the first preseiddnt elected and the electoral votes were in his favor

Answer 5

Federalists and Anti-federalist couldn't agree about ratification of the constitution and idea of states rights vs the central government.
