Political parties are organized groups of people who feel a certain way about the government.
One of the major controversies about the political parties was the Thomas Jefferson verses Alexander Hamilton. As a matter of fact, it was the first sign of political parties in America since the Constitution makes no mention of parties, and from these early conflicts different parties were created. Jefferson had grown up in Virginia and was originally a farmer or plantation owner. So he believed in a small federal government and a strong state government. These people called themselves the Democratic-Republicans.
