Two different political parties, the Federalist and the Democratic Republican, arose from the election of 1800.
What caused this to happen?
Hamilton was jealous that Washington agreed more with Jefferson, so he started his own party.
Jefferson believed Hamilton cheated to help Jefferson's opponent win in the election of 1800, so he
created a new party.
Hamilton and Jefferson disagreed about many issues, such as the powers of government and individual
liberty.
Jefferson and Hamilton both feared powerful government and wanted political parties to serve as a check
to the government's power.
