Answer 1

Correct choices:
- increase in the distribution of newspapers
- differences in opinion on how much power federal government should have
- looming threat of war with France

Reason: Early U.S. parties grew out of sharp disagreements over the scope of federal power and foreign policy (especially attitudes toward Britain vs. France), and were amplified by a growing partisan press. The option about "mounting pressure from Britain to further establish government" is not a primary cause.
