Understand The Declaration & Constitution as never before-in modern English
Experience A Deeper Appreciation of America's Founding Documents
Understanding Our Nation's Constitutional Representative Republic
Politics
Although the Democrat (1828) and Republican (1854) parties had already been formed, neither party is mentioned in the U.S. Constitution. The Framers of the Constitution (James Madison, known as “the Father of the Constitution,” with key figures George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, and James Madison) were among 55 delegates who drafted the document in Philadelphia in 1787, 11 years after the Declaration of Independence. The Frames did not anticipate or desire parties, fearing they would create dangerous factions that could create dangerous divisions within the nation. George Washington warned against the effects of "party spirit" in his farewell address in 1796. The two-party system evolved later based on customs, laws, and party rules, not by constitutional requirement.
