First Political Parties of America
In 1787, our founding fathers created the United States by making the Constitution. Like always though, a great act of unity, like making a country, can have the effect of a separation of opinions. Our country formed their first political parties: Federalists and Democratic-Republicans. Although different, they both had beliefs, leaders, and supporters.
Both parties of our founding fathers had many beliefs. To begin with, the Federalists supported the British and believed in a loose construction of the Constitution. They also supported having a national bank which would allow us to use paper money. Secondly, the Democratic-Republicans supported the French and believed in a strict construction of the Constitution.
