No. From the very start there were two sides in government. In 1789 when Washington took office there were men who were federalist and others who were antifederalist. They hadn't formed into political parties yet, but they soon would as time wore on. By the 1860's the Republican and Democratic parties were in full force. Lincoln was the first Republican president and since then the party has changed through the centuries.

Explain how divided government has contributed to the decline in trust and confidence in government?

A divided party government occurs when one party is in the presidency and the other controls one or both chambers of Congress. Because in a divided government one party can check the other's agenda, it is exceedingly difficult for a party to carry out its policies. Divided party governments in modern times have affected voter behaviors. The inability of a party to bring its promises to fruition has contributed to voter disillusionment in the democratic system, decreasing trust and confidence in government.
