Question

Which member of the "virginia dynasty" helped establish the earliest political party in the united states by setting up the first party newspaper and by traveling through new england to collect political allies (while pretending to collect biological specimens)?

Answer 1

James Madison helped establish America's first political party, the Republicans. He set up the first party newspaper and joined Thomas Jefferson on a trip to collect political allies, though he stated that he travelled to collect biological specimens. He is considered the father of American politics. The old Republicans are still present today as the Democrats.
