The following choices influenced the emergence of opposing political parties:

1. Increase in the distribution of newspapers - This played a significant role in shaping public opinion and organizing political factions.

2. Differences in opinion on how much power federal government should have - This was a central issue that led to the formation of opposing political parties (e.g., Federalists vs. Democratic-Republicans).

3. Looming threat of war with France - This contributed to the political divisions, particularly regarding foreign policy and the role of the federal government in such conflicts.
