Why did Political Parties in Revolutionary America Begin to Form in 1790's
Why and how did political parties begin to form in the 1790s? This is the question I have decided to research for this project. I have chosen this topic because of the state of our politics right now, and I am curious as to how and why this all started. I believe if I understood why the parties started, it would make more sense to me why our elective system is the way it is today. The audience is the American people, considering it is an election year, it is important to learn about how this all came to be. It may make us all think differently about how our government is run now, positively or negatively. My thesis is the formation of political parties was driven by differing visions of America's future. Primarily the debate over federal power versus states' rights, foreign relations, and economic policies. Comparing it to the beginning of revolutionary America. I believe it is important for materials to be available in digital form for many reasons. It helps reach a wider audience and helps people learn without having to spend money or even leave their houses. For example, I would not be able to finish this project without many digital resources, every resource I have used has been from a digital copy of the source.
