A democracy is its parties. Washington is like Franco: no parties. But if there has to be democracy it has to be at least two parties. Federalist party was not really a political party. They made the constitution and the job had been done. Bye bye. So american democracy really is jeffersonian (no adams): the republican-democratic party that jefferson opposed to adams are now the democratic party and the republican party. The whig party collapsed because it was an adams' party. Then, the conservatives choose the jeffersonian name of republicans for their true party although his agenda is hamilton's agenda and not jeffersonian's. That is hiw I see it

When you talked about the Sedition Act, a chill went down my spine. Making it a crime to criticize the government is what tyrants and dictators do. I'm glad people people fought against the Act including reelecting Matthew Lyon while he was in jail. I love those early Americans. Complaining about our government is one of my favorite things about free speech. We vote them in and then complain the whole time they are in office. - It is one way I know that I live in a free country. -

I hate that he referred to Jefferson as a republican. The Republican Party wasn-t founded for a good amount of time. It was federalists and anti federalists. The democrats were an older party than the republicans. In this time in history both federalists and anti federalists were considered -republicans- as they believed in republics as a form of government. Every source I look into does not refer to anyone at this point in time as just republicans.

George Washington was way off about not having parties. Every single country that you see without a two party system is authoritarian. Countries with more than two parties, such as in Europe, or even less authoritarian than ours. Oneparty states have a great vehicle to keep people with their same mentality is in power, so the values never have to shift, which is where innovation and progress comes from

Any issue with Jefferson's idea is that it would have left the United States far too vulnerable to attacks from foreign nations: if there were no standing army, little industry and most Americans were simply farmers, wouldn't steadily advancing nations with more advanced weapons just taken over the states within, say, 100 years?

I like how they dis the electoral college. The one that keeps the United States of America the United States and not the Coastal States of America. Because if coastal states like food - they may need to recognize the opinions of where their food comes from.

France to the U. S. - -It's only natural. Britain cut off your trade, you wanted revenge. It wasn't the first time, America. Remember what you told me about Stamp Act and the Boston Tea Party? -
