Answer 1

- increase in the distribution of newspapers
- differences in opinion on how much power the federal government should have

Explanation: Newspapers spread partisan viewpoints and mobilized supporters, and sharp disagreements over the size and scope of federal power (e.g., Hamilton vs. Jefferson) were a central cause of the first party split.
