Factors of Contribution to Development of Political Parties-1790s

The factors that contributed to the development of political parties in the United States during the 1790s were the imposed tariffs and idea of a federal bank of Alexander Hamilton, opposed views during the Constitutional convention about the division of state and federal government, different interpretation of the Constitution. Alexander Hamilton was a very popular figure during the Constitutional Convention of 1789 where he opposed the Anti-Federalist view of some states and expressed his ultraconservatism. He wanted to relieve the nation’s debts by imposing favorable policies on the wealthy class in return for financial support of the government. He also proposed an idea of a national Bank which would hold the money and issue money for all the states. Thomas Jefferson as well as other delegates from the South opposed the creation of a federal bank because creating the bank would go against the constitutional laws and would give the federal government too much power. If the government would gain too much money, they would become corrupted and dictator like instead of democratic. From this issue, debates rose and slowly, different views were created as well as different political parties. Many politics interpreted the Constitution differently, as to provide support for their own personal views.
