Here we talking about the two political parties that initiated the partisan system in the United States.

It all started with the sectarian division during the Constitutional Convention of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1787. Federalists such as Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay supported the creation of a strong central government for the United States. On the other hand, Antifederalists like Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry, and Samual Adams preferred a simpler form of government that supported more rights to the states and the citizens.

Years later, Anntifederalists formed the Republican-Democratic Party and the differences grew between the two parties.
