Have George Washington's fears come true? When George Washington became President of the United States in 1797, he did not join a political party nor did he want ANY formed. I bet many of you are asking, "Why?" And the answer is George Washington did not want political parties having conflict, which could undermine the Republic of the United States.
During this time then Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton formed the Federalist Party, and Thomas Jefferson formed the Jeffersonian-Republicans. During this time these two parties had a First Class Party System, were these two parties were competing for control of the Presidency, for Congress, and the States. These parties completely ignored the people and the Republic, and only concerned on CONTROL. But these actions have lead to the very same thing that is happening today in the United States of America, were control is bringing America down piece by piece. But have Washington's fears come true a second time?
Today in America two parties dominate the government these parties are the Republican Party and the Democratic Party. These parties have become like the Federalist party and Jeffersonian-Republicans party. They want CONTROL! They have left their and America's principals and just have a label. They only care for having control. This tho has had a negative impact on America.
During the past hundred years the Republican party and the Democratic Party have been in a battle. A battle for their party to have control, a battle for their party to dominate in politics and history of their nation. But this is affecting America so negatively. Today politicians argue and get nothing done, politicians take no action, ignore their fellow Americans, ignore the constitution, and ignore the laws.
This has resulted in our rights being taken away, no justice, no action, just a bunch of arguing. So the answer is yes Washington's fears have come true a second time. But this can be stopped now, and it can be stopped in the future....... To be continued next week
