1. The first president under the Constitution, George Washington, in his Farewell Address warned against forming political parties, but his immediate successors didn't listen. John Adams (Federalist) and Thomas Jefferson (Democratic-Republican) fought bitter contests in 1796 (Adams won) and 1800 (Jefferson won). It is the natural instinct of politicians to align with like-minded individuals and want to govern based on ideology rather than to just solve problems one-by-one as they arise. Because the first time two people had a discussion about politics and decided to cooperate toward common goals, in effect the first political party was formed. That’s all a party is.

2. The federalists believed in a strong central government and its proactive involvement in commerce. In general, the federalists were elitists who opposed measures to democratize American politics. In the realm of international relations, federalists were admirers of Great Britain and detractors of the French.


3. Christianity is the most widely professed religion in the Dominican Republic. Historically, Catholicism dominated the religious practices of the country, and as the official state religion it receives financial support from the government. In modern times Protestant and non-Christian groups, such as Muslims and Jews, have experienced a population boom.

who wrote the declaration of independence and who influenced these ideas? what are unalienable rights? who helped the colonists
STALIN [3.7K]

The Declaration of Independence is written by Thomas Jefferson.

After publishing "A Summary View of the Rights of British America" in 1774, Jefferson gained a reputation as an eloquent voice for the patriotic cause, and he was tasked with writing a draught of what would become the Declaration of Independence.

The most famous ideas in the Declaration of Independence, according to most scholars today, were derived from the writings of English philosopher John Locke. Locke wrote his Second Treatise of Government in 1689, during England's Glorious Revolution, which overthrew James II's rule.

Jefferson was influenced by George Mason's Virginia Declaration of Rights, as well as his study of natural rights theory and John Locke's writings, particularly Two Treatises of Government.
