There’s a reason the Founding Father’s are very clear their system would break if it formed into partisan political parties .
That seems weird considering many of the Founding Father's formed into partisan political parties, with Madison, Jefferson, and Monroe founding the Democratic-Republicans, and Hamilton-Jay-Adams being the founders of the Federalists
True, but the parties weren’t ideologically partisan. There were memebers of both parties receptive to the views of the other. Ultimately, they saw it that as long as the rich elite managed to stay in charge as the only ones with the vote, the difference wouldn’t be too great and cause to much trouble.
But they did recognize that in places like Britain, that didn’t work out. The Whigs and Tories were from the same class, but had different financial interested, and absolutely hated each other lol. The figured that wouldn’t be an issue for the US though, because if anyone got to upset at the Federal government, they could move to their own land out in the West. At the time, it was a very useful release valve of tension among the American ruling class. This was also during the times they figured that it would take hundreds of years to populate the West. They also assumed this would be a release valance for discontent among the common people too. So they wouldn’t have to give any more representation to the “great beast” of the masses, like the established and “immobile” society in Britain was obviously heading towards.
