Born in 1863, Henry Ford was the first surviving son of William and Mary Ford, who owned a prosperous farm in Dearborn, Michigan. At 16, he left home for the nearby city of Detroit, where he found apprentice work as a machinist. He returned to Dearborn and work on the family farm after three years, but continued to operate and service steam engines and work occasional stints in Detroit factories. In 1888, he married Clara Bryant, who had grown up on a nearby farm.In the first several years of their marriage, Ford supported himself and his new wife by running a sawmill. In 1891, he returned with Clara to Detroit, where he was hired as an engineer for the Edison Illuminating Company. Rising quickly through the ranks, he was promoted to chief engineer two years later. Around the same time, Clara gave birth to the couple’s only son, Edsel Bryant Ford. On call 24 hours a day for his job at Edison, Ford spent his irregular hours on his efforts to build a gasoline-powered horseless carriage, or automobile. In 1896, he completed what he called the “Quadricycle,” which consisted of a light metal frame fitted with four bicycle wheels and powered by a two-cylinder, four-horsepower gasoline engine.

What led to the formation of political parties?
Virty [35]

The answer is B: The writers of the Constitution disagreed on ideology.

The first party ever made in the U.S. was the Federalist, in 1787. Being led by Alexander Hamilton and other leaders (mainly bankers, northern businessmen, merchants, etc), they promoted the belief that Constitution was open to interpretation, thus the government had "unmentioned rights" to have additional powers, and also found necessary a strong national government and a national bank, as well as a good relationship with England.

However, a lot of people disagreed on his policies especially planters, small farmers, and artisans, therefore around a year later The Democratic-Republican party was made, led by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. They strongly opposed to the Federalist interpretation of the Constitution as well as the idea of a strong government and leaned to give more power to the states and local governments instead. In contrast, they preferred to have a good relationship with France, and not Britain.
