Best Answer

The Federalists strongly opposed the War of 1812 and with the crushing defeat of the British in that war, their rivals - the Democratic-Republicans - saw a huge increase in party membership and influence. This large increase made the Federalist's almost powerless and signaled their demise from the political scene. So by the 1820 election America was functioning almost on a one-party system.
