Two of the first political parties in the United States were the Democratic-Republican Party and the Federalist Party. They thought the government possessed implicit powers not stated in the Constitution expressly, such as long as they adhered to the main structure and goal of the document.
Democratic-Republican Party: Led by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, the Democratic-Republicans pushed for a rigid reading of the Constitution. They contended that any powers not specifically specified in the Constitution should be reserved for the states and that the federal government should only utilize those powers that are expressly provided to it in the Constitution. Governmental function:
- Federalist Party: The Federalists emphasized the value of stability and order and supported a strong central government. They were in favor of Hamilton's financial strategy which included protective tariffs and a national bank.
- Democratic-Republican Party: This political party supported minimal government intervention in people's lives and the economy. The French Revolution, which they believed may destabilize the new country, was seen by them as a counterbalance to Britain, which they also considered a trustworthy trading partner.- Democratic-Republican Party: During the French Revolution, the Democratic-Republicans showed more support for France. As a result, there were disagreements during events like the XYZ Affair and the Quasi-War because they believed that the United States should uphold its alliance with France.
The early political system, questions of federalism, and the creation of the American two-party system were all greatly influenced by the opinions and arguments of both parties.
