Whose ideas led to the development of two political parties?

Answer 1

Washington and Jefferson

Answer 2

Political Parties began for the same reason they exist today--to get their members in office in order to carry out their goals for the nation, or state, or town. The Founding Fathers disliked political parties, calling them "factions" motivated by self interest. Washington was so upset over the quarreling between Hamilton (Federalists) and Jefferson (anti-Federalists) that he devoted much of his Farewell Address to the evils of parties. The people who supported Hamilton and Adams were called Federalists (supporters of the Constitution) but they were not an organized political party. The first organized party in America was made up of the followers of Jefferson, who, starting in the 1790s, called themselves Republicans (or Jeffersonian Democratic-Republicans). Hamilton and those who opposed Jefferson, kept the name Federalist. Jefferson's Republican Party has no ties to the current Republican Party. In fact, the current Democratic Party considerers Jefferson and Andrew Jackson as the founders of their party.

Answer 3

The first two political parties, the Democratic-Republicans (also referred to simply as the Republicans, though they have no connection to the modern Republican party) and the Federalists, emerged in the Election of 1796, the first contested US presidential election. The parties were based around the difference in philosophy between Washington's two main advisers, Secretary of Treasury Alexander Hamilton and Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson.

Hamilton wanted to strengthen the national government and make the state governments subordinate to it. He proposed consolidating state debts under the national government, and the creation of a national bank. He supported policy that would industrialize America, and supported strong financial and trade ties with Britain.

Jefferson on the other hand believed that state governments should remain superior. He saw many of Hamilton's policies as leading to the kind of tyranny that the country had fought to be free of only two decades earlier. He believed that a free society would be based on family farms, not industrialized cities, and was against the centralized financial power of a national bank.

In the election of 1796, the Federalist Party ran John Adams against the Democratic-Republicans' Thomas Jefferson. Adams won with 71 electoral votes to Jefferson's 68.
