Washington (George) got it right
Founding Fathers did not anticipate or desire the existence of political parties, viewing them as "factions" dangerous to the public interest
Founders' republican ideology called for subordination of narrow interests to the general welfare of the community
Under republican ideology, politics was supposed to be rational and collaborative, not competitive
And that excuses John Adams and Thomas Jefferson how?
