Political Parties in 1790s

One of the main factors that contributed to the development of political parties in the United States during the 1790s was resentment towards Hamilton's revenue-raisinig and centralized policies. Hamilton's sucesses, including the excise tax, the bank, the suppression of the whiskey rebellion, and funding, strongly enroached on state rights. The anti-Hamilton sentiment began to build, creating stiff resentment. Jefferson and Madison, two political leaders who had previously opposed Hamilton, began to organize opposition against Hamilton. As the opposition to Hamilton spread, the two sides began to resemble primitive forms of political parties. Eventually, these two opposing groups with different ideas and views evolved into political parties--Jefferson's Democratic Republicans and Hamilton's Federalists.
