<span><span>At the beginning of 1801, Napoleon wanted to occupy Louisiana militarily.</span> The newly appointed President Jefferson knew he could lose that region, because of the French or the British. Since there were no roads at that time, control of the Mississippi River was vital for the transport of all kinds of products, as well as troops, so Tomas Jefferson hastened the exploration of the same and the west. Surprisingly, the following year France agreed to sell the Louisiana Territory to the USA, which secured control of the Mississippi River and New Orleans. For 15 million dollars, Jefferson increased the size of the USA and gained control of the river, driving the French away from the country.</span>

You did not include the text or a link to it, neither any options for this question. However, we can comment on the following general terms.

If you are talking about United States politics at the beginning of the nation, then prevailing views on why parties formed in the early republic were that since the beginning there were two different views of how to form a government for the United States.

One side was known as the Federalists, led by people like Alexander Hamilton, Jhon Jay, and James Madison. They believed in a strong central government for the new nation. On the other hand, there were the Antifederalists like Thomas Jefferson, who opposed a strong central government because they thought it could derive into tyranny, as had been the case of the English monarchy.

Indeed, that is what President George Washington feared and the reason why he did not support the formation of parties, because they could lead to a divided nation.
