The two-party system that we know today primarily developed from the political struggle surrounding the establishment of a federal treasury and differing interpretations of federal power. The early political conflict between the Federalists, who supported a strong central government and a national bank, and the Democratic-Republicans, who advocated for states' rights and a more limited federal government, laid the groundwork for the two-party system in the United States. So, while none of the options provided explicitly captures the roots of the two-party system, the selection of a federal treasury is the most closely related to the development of the two-party political struggle.
The two-party system that we know today developed from which political struggle?
Responses: interpretive powers of the Supreme Court, selection of members of Congress, establishment of a federal treasury, or ratification of the Congress
