The most responsible factor for the rise of the two-party system in the U.S. government was the competing views over the adoption of the U.S. Constitution. This led to the formation of the Federalist Party, which supported a strong central government, and the Democratic-Republican Party, which championed states' rights and a more limited federal government.
