Primary Source Analysis: Washington and Jefferson on Political Parties

From Washington’s Farewell Address, 1797
 
I have already intimated to you the danger of parties in the state, with particular reference to the founding of them on geographical discriminations. Let me now take a more comprehensive view, and warn you in the most solemn manner against the baneful effects of the spirit of party, generally…
 
It serves always to distract the Public Councils, and enfeeble the Public Administration. It agitates the Community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms; kindles the animosity of one part against another, foments occasionally riot and insurrection. It opens the door to foreign influence and corruption, which find a facilitated access to the government itself through the channels of party passions. Thus the policy and the will of one country are subjected to the policy and will of another…
​From Jefferson’s Inaugural Address, 1801
 
During the throes and convulsions of the ancient world, during the agonizing spasms of infuriated man, seeking through blood and slaughter his long-lost liberty, it was not wonderful that the agitation of the billows should reach even this distant and peaceful shore; that this should be more felt and feared by some and less by others, and should divide opinions as to measures of safety. But every difference of opinion is not a difference of principle. We have called by different names brethren of the same principle. We are all Republicans, we are all Federalists. If there be any among us who would wish to dissolve this Union or to change its republican form, let them stand undisturbed as monuments of the safety with which error of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it.

1. Summarize each argument.

2. Thinking about how the Constitution sets up the government, what are the challenges associated with pushing a political party agenda? 

3. Politicians today talk about bi-partisanship and coming together, but do they really want to do that or do they actually want to push their own political agenda?

4. Does compromise and negotiation mean you are sacrificing your core values?  Is that necessarily a bad thing?

5. HIPP check time (historical situation, intended audience, point of view, purpose)


Federalists and Democratic-Republicans

Political leaders in the 1790s took a variety of positions on issues such as the relationship between the national government and the states, economic policy, foreign policy, and the balance between liberty and order.  This led to the formation of political parties--most significantly the Federalists and the Democratic-Republican Party.
